PROSPECTUS. 


Turs Company has been formed. for the purpose of acquiring and, using in the Empire of India, Gayton; 
Australasia and South Africa, the ‘rights and privileges of Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, relating to the 
application of. Electricity or Magnetism as » lighting, heating, or motive agent (except the application 
thereof for the purpose only of locomotion on railways or tramways or common roads, and except also the 
right of the Cape Government to use an installation which has been already sent out to them), and for the 
other objects specified in the Memorandum of Association, a print of which is in the fold of this Prospectus. 


t 














A large number of Patents or Letters of Registration have been obtained by Mr. Edison for 
India and the Colonies of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand, alljof which are 
secured to the Company. Applications for Patents or Registrations: have been or will be made in the 
last-named Colonies, and in South Australia, Tasmania, West Australia, South Africa, and Ceylon, 
which when obtained will belong to the Company, without any further. payment except the cost of 
' making or completing such applications. 'S a ee 


In addition to the above, the Company has acquired a most important advantage in the right to - 
patent and use in Australasia, South Africa, India, and Ceylon, all Mr. Edison’s improvements which 
may be made during the term of five years, from the 12th day of June, 1882, No further 
payment will accrue to Mr. Edison on the Company exercising this right. After the expiration of the 
term of five years the Company will have the option of acquiring all additions arid improvements 
made and patented by Mr. Edison on payment of such sums as may from time to time be agreed on 
or fixed by arbitration in case of difference. The only reservation in favor of Mr. Edison is in respect 
of locomotion on railways, tramways, or roads. 


The Edison Incandescent Lamp is unequalled for domestic and general illumination, and is 
suitable for all places where a steady, brilliant light, absolutely safe in its production and use, is required. 
It is peculiarly adapted for India and other tropical countrics, as it will be unaffected by Punkehs and wind 
currents, and emits comparatively little heat. When once fixed it requires no skilled labour, but can be 
attended to by an ordinary native or other servant. 


The Edison System, however, docs not merely comprise a particular form of lamp, dynamo or 
regulator, but is a comprehensive whole, embracing every detail essential to the economical, reliable, and 
safe production and distribution of Electricity for the innumerable purposes to which it can be applied, 
whether in connection with light, heat, or motive-power. It includes many ingenious and effective 
devices believed to be peculiar to this system, some of which are referred to in the following extract | 
from a lecture at the Society of Arts, by Mr. W. H. Preece, F.R.S., Electrician to the Post Office, . 
which affords important independent testimony to the above statements :— 


“ The completeness of Mr. Edison’s exhibit was certainly the most noteworthy object in the [Paris] 
exhibition. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, no detail missed, There we saw not only the boilers, 
engine, and dynamo-machine, but the pipes to. contain the conductors; the. conductors themselves, 
heavy and massive,—for Mr-Edison recognizes the waste of energy that must ocour in small conductors, 
—the insulation, the fixtures, the brackets, the safety catches, the lamps, devices to avoid the effects of 
expansion and contraction through changes of temperature, meters to measure the current used, 
regulators to control the consumption of fuel.” i * : “Mr, Edison’s system has been worked 
out in detail, with a thoroughness and mastery of the subject that can extract nothing but eulogy from 
his bitterest opponents. Many unkind things have been said of Mr. Edison and his promises; perhaps 
no one has been severer in this direction than myself. It is some gratification for me to be able to 
announce my belief that he has at last solved the problem that he set himself to solve, and to be able to 


The Safety-catch, above referred to, is an invention for preventing danger from fire in case of the 
conductors generating heat by reason of breakage or other accidental injury. 


The system may be seen in full operation on Holborn Viaduct, where the street extending from 
Holhorn Circus to Old Bailey, the Oity Temple, Two Hotels, the Entrance to the London, Chatham & Dover 
Railway Station, Messrs. Spiers & Pond’s Restaurant, and numerous shops and Offices are lighted up 
from a Central Station. The Lamps give out very little heat, they may be grasped by the naked hand 


without danger or inconvenience, are free from odour and give off no products of a poisonous or noxious 
character. 


This Oompany, deriving as it does its rights and privileges direct from Mr. Edison will be a parent 
Company. It will be prepared to undertake the business of a Lighting and Power Company, by lighting 
up towns, public buildings, manufactories, barracks, and residences, and supplying power by means of 
electricity; and in order to enlist local capital and influence will grant licenses to Corporations and 
local Companies to carry on a similar business. 


With a view to the early commencement of active operations the Directors have made arrangements 
for purchasing a number of Mr. Edison's lamps, dynamos, and other materials which are now in London 
ready for shipment to some of the principal centres of population and industry within the Company's 
field of operations. Mr. Edison has agreed, until 1st January, 1888, to 8 
Dynamos; Lamps, and other specialties of his system, of his own manufacture, 


‘

The consideration to be paid for the property and rights secured to the Company is the sum of 
£26,000 in cash, 5,000 A Shares, fully paid and ranking as such for dividend, and ‘10,000 B Shares, 
fully paid, upon which no dividend will be paid until after the A Shares have received a cumulative 
dividend of 6 per cent. per annum. The surplus profits available for dividend, after payment of the 6 per 
cent. of cumulative dividend on the A Shares will be divided equally between A and B Shares until the 
A Shares shall have received a dividend equal to 10 per cent. The remaining profits, subject to a 
percentage payable to the Directors, will then be divided equally between the A and B Shares 
respectively, No promotion money will be paid. ; 


The Directors are in negociation for securing the services of an exceptionally competent Manager, 
who will be prepared to visit India and the Colonies whenever occasion may require. 


The only agreement entered into is dated 12th June, 1882, and made between THoxas ALVA 
Epison, of the first part; Gzorer Epwarp Gouravp, of the second part; and the Marquis of 
TWEEDDALE, The Honorable W. Sv. Joun Broprick, M.P., Henry Scunestwncrr, Colonel The 
Honorable W. Le Porr ‘Trenou, and Sir Groree WarreEnper, Bart., of the third part, and which is 
open to inspection (together with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company) at the 
Offices of Messrs. Brronant & Co., Solicitors, 26, Austin Friars, London. : 


Applications for Shares must be made on the accompanying form, to be lodged with Messrs. Gury, 
Mrris & Co., of 67, Lombard Street, London, B.0., or the Commercial Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, the 
Oompany’s Bankers, togother with a deposit of 10s. per Share. In case of no allotment being made, the 
amount of deposit will be returned in full. Where a smaller number of Shares are allotted than are 


applied for, the balance of the deposit will be applied towards payment of the amount payable on 
allotment. : 


Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be had of the Brokers, Messrs. A. ANpERSoN & Co., 
80, Throgmorton Street, E.0., and at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 6, Lombard Street, 1.0. 


‘Lhe Subscription List will be closed for London on or before Friday, the 16th inst., and for ‘the 
Country on or before Saturday, the 17th inst. , 


12th June, 1882.

1882. Electric Light - Western Edison Light Company (D-82-041) 


This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to the 
business of the Western Edison Light Company of Chicago, Illinois. Organized in 
May 1882, this company oversaw the installation of electric lighting plants in 
Chicago and the Midwest. Much of the correspondence is by George H. Bliss, 
general superintendent of the company. Related material can be found in the 
Primary Printed Collection (Company Records Series). 


All the documents have been filmed.

DEAR SIR 2 
COL, GOODARD INFORMS US THAT HE DOES NOT INTEND 
To CARRY ANY STOCK OF E MACHINES. 
| APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE VERY COSTLY IN THE 
FIRST PRICE AS WELL AS IN THEIR OPERATION ON ACCOUNT OF THE 
POWER REQUIRED. ; 
THERE ARE SITUATIONS, HOWEVER, WHERE THE FIRST COST AND 
POWER ARE OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE. 
WE ARE RUNNING ONE OF THESE MACHINES WITH GOOD success 
IN A SAW MILL AT .LUDINGTON, MICH,, AND THE PROSPECTS ARE THAT 
OTHER ORDERS CAN “BE SECURED, 
coL, GOQDARD WRITES 1F WE WALL PLACE AN ORDER FOR THESE ‘ 
DYNAWMOS THEY WILL, BE: MADE, 


THE PRICE AT 


WHICH THEY ARE SOLD TO US LEAVES A’ VERY 


SMALL MARGIN OF PROFIT. . 
SHOULD. %E ORDER TEN: OR TWELVE FOR FUTURE OELIVERY COULD 
ANY RETTER FIGURE BE OBTAINED ? : 
tf YOU COULD MAKE A 25 OR °30 A LIGHT MACHINE iT 
WOULO MEET WITH A MUCH LARGER SALE AND WOULD OF COURSE 8E 
WORE ECONOMICAL. 
PLEASE WRITE ME ABOUT THIS AT AN EARLY DAY.

As soon as wwe can have an. opportunity to test’ the ~ 
merits of these small machines, ‘the . question of giving’ 
an order for the number you name will -be determined upon. 
Iam ae to see that you have .been able to reduce 


the price 4 bAROO ame amount per lamp as. on the larger 
machines. ; ; : : . 
I understand there is a Mr.: MG MURRAY in this city 


or vicinity, who. claims to have the foundation patent, on 
incandescent, electric lighting. ’ 

It is also claimed that the Edison Company has been 
negotiating for the same, 

-Is there any truth in this? some of our stocke- 
holders are interested to know,

Dear Sir? " Pe ; 

‘ your favor of the I8th inst is at hard, 

I understand that where differert groups of lights 

are run from ore dynamo a separate feeder should be run 

for each one, say at 20 per cert loss, ard that the mairs 
shall pe figured at 2 I-2, : ; 

: _ Do you get the sixe of mains by figuring 2 I-2 
per cert vorn-the distance to the end of feeder, or or the

I serd a sketch showirg the situation of a plart 
which we propose to put ir’ operatior where we wart the 
feeders to be figured or a twenty per cert loss ard inside

1882. Insull, Samuel (D-82-043) 


This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to Samuel 
Insull's role as Edison's private secretary, along with occasional items pertaining to 
his private life. Letters addressed to Insull in his capacity as Edison's secretary or 
representative that do not fall under the main subject categories are generally 
filed in this folder. Numerous other letters addressed to Insull, which relate to one 
subject or to the business of one particular company, can be found in their 
appropriate subject folders. 


All documents that provide significant information about Edison or his 
companies, along with a few significant pieces of Insull's personal correspondence, 
have been filmed. Routine correspondence relating to the various Edison 
organizations has not been filmed. Included in this category are routine letters 
pertaining to bookkeeping, the ordering of supplies, and the shipping of materials; 
letters of introduction; and requests for Insull to act as an intermediary with 
Edison. 


Most of the documents relating to Insull's private affairs have not been 
filmed. Included in this category are personal correspondence and accounts 
unrelated to Edison's activities; information about Insull's membership in clubs and 
societies; documents relating to Insull's role as a caretaker for the estates of 
various Edison associates, such as Edward H. Johnson and Charles Batchelor, while 
they were overseas; and correspondence pertaining to Insull's buying and selling of 
electric light stock. 


Approximately 80 percent of the documents have been filmed.

[ hava Baan going to write to you for about 
Six weeks past, but some how or another circumstances havea oc~ 
cirred to pravent me inflicting on you an apistlo of any consl~ 
igtabla Longth. About two weeks ago T got half way through a 
lung Letter to you, was called away from it, and was nover able 
to finish 1t. You ist excuse my negligence on the plea of the 
yar y praat press of businoss that we have had here for some con- 
.idorabla tine past. I vill try now to wipe out the whole score, 

LAMP FACTORY. TJ think 1% as well to deal with the 

Nost expensive subj2et first, The Lamp Mactory still continues 
to absorb money right along. They are turning out at the prosont 
tama froin about 800 to 1000 a day and still lose on everything 
that they sell, Only two or throo weaks ago Edison paid an ass— 
essmant to them on your account of $3,750, They havo, of gourse, 
baen at considerable expense in moving from “enlo Park and the 
place ‘has been fixed up on a scale not to moet the present demands 
but rather to be in a position to deal wath future requirements 
when tha rush for lamps eomes which must be in a very short time. 
‘Upton clailins that as soon as ho turns out 1500 lamps a day, ho 


van do it without loss; 2000 at a slight return and 2500 ata 


snug Little profit always providing that we ean fot a re-arrange- 


ment of the lamp contract allowing us to charge 40 cents for our 


. 


lamps and giving a profat to the amp Vacgtory of B cents per 








2 
lamp befors daviding any profits that may be left after that aqz 
ually with the Laap Factory and the Light Company. Thas contract 
business 1 took up in the early part of the summer before Mr | 
Sowrey went away on his swauer vacation, but since he has haan 
back, althongh T have ax made half a dozen appointments with him 
4? has never kept them, always promising to take Up the question 
tha vary next woak, TS aa get this increased prise on Lamps it 
vould appear that avervthing would be solad at the lamp factory. 
tn addition to this we are going to elaium from the Light Go, an 
aifount eyval to about $50,000 for purely axperimental work, We 
i fopesa be: Heuue this sum to the Light Co's aeeount and Wipe it 
out by means of crediting them with any future profits on manu~ 
favture that thay aay be entitled to after tho Lamp Go. has req 
caivad 5S cents per Lamp as its rogular profit, Tt would appear 
that at the present time the Lamp factory absorbs about from 5000 
to $7500 a month 1n addition to the amonnt of thor sales, of 
GOUBS®, as apainst this they have their sakes stock of lamps but 
for somo tame past their stock instead of ineredsing has ,consi- 
derably diminished and at praesent is not more’ than 50 fe 6O0, 000 
lamps. 

MACHINE WORKS. Ve have turnod out a very great deal 
af work at Guoorck St, this last few months. Whather it has beon 
turned ont choaper and good your experience at Ivry will very 
600n inforin us, All thas T can say is that instead of losing 


money here now as heretofore there is some Slight amount being 


mad. Rdison has taken out of the piguneee 8 orn and you

havi! been credited anqaccount on wy books with #38oo 

being 10 pear cent of sane. Tha Yachane Yorks varries about 550 
shares of Tsolated Gu, stock and they pay their assessmonts by 
turning in machines as tha Csoluted Co, requiras then, ~ About 
“85,000 (that as on the basis of tho sollang price of tha mashanes) 
has al prosent been paid inte thas stock, v hava got a lacpo 
nuaber of Ky oh, and % iaachines on hand and no lass than 7 con- 

tral staston imachinos. Cur iPaeent werk will bo all cleared up 


rg 


in the corsa of a wack or tyo and we shall shut down, Va 

shall then probably have on hand about i0 % Machines, from co 

to 70 hh waehanas and about 30 K machines and 5 or 6 central station 
wachinas. You wrll sao that this 1s a very huavy Stock far us te 
carey ropresonting as it doos fron 130 to 10,000 worth of surf, 
when thas as all sold and our buoks balanced thers should bo a 
Mrthor amount of profit to bea davided aaounting to probably Pyeovo 


Ctey 
yOu will savy that 






“Now, 2f you add those va louNGS tOofO 
the Machine Works 1s nob in quite so bad a condition as it was 
Soino months ago and there is hope that there van be money mada 
thers. Mr Dean seams to five more attontion to his business, has 
most decvidadly inproved, and 1s not now at loggerheads with overy~ 
body as was his wont whan he first startod ‘in owing to an ime

bo# down on their bended knoes and Worship him, 

GUNTRAL STATTON ENGINES, Our groat trouble just ‘now as 


with referense to tha engines for our central station dynainos,

At Coarck St. #0 have G machines building for acvount of tho T1ll- 
uarnating Coe and the saaec number which tha Yorks 1s carrying as 
Steck and up tall a weak age we had not an ongin? to go wath them 
an{ “Mdison was quite in w quandary as to what angling he would use 
ani where ter could pat ate The Portar-Allen ongane did not pov= 
ern at all as he axpoeted, those at the central station having 
Piven very considerable trouble, Th? Araington & Sins Co, have 
boon ddonths turning ont (a swdel oneana for Us, bub they have at 
Last sot one to Courek Sb, The tests on this vill pe mada with~ 
in a few days. T went down to Proyadenes and Wade an arrangoe~ 
mnt by whigh tho tlachine Yorks 1s to build thear own central 
station onginos on 4 royalty ef $200 an angine, the ongsin? to ba 
used being 1442, v 183 eylindor, such as the nev model wo now have 
in Coerck St, Whether Sdison will avail hinself of this li- 
cans? or #111 use Purter-Allen engines is just at the foment a 
matter of doubt. Wa vrote ta you the othor day Stating that he 
shold hava to diseard the Armington @ngine and go back to the 
‘Portor engine entirely tin consequences of it boelng necessary to 
connect the sovarnors of all engines in a ventral Station with 
&@ sveclal coupling arrangement so as to lock them together and 
sake them run at tha same Spoed irrespective of whather the load 


is thrown from one to another, At first hs thought that he vould 


“not apply thas devieo to an Avinington angine, IT havo the im- 


peession nov that within the last 2 or 3 duys I have heard his 


‘state that ho van apply tt, bué T will advise you of thas luter, 


Sims claims that two of thoir engines will run together, that 








5 
you can throw the loads kagekker from one to the other with pare 
fect case and that thoy will regulate absolutoly, They aro now 
rushing their sacond engine which will probably be at “oerck St, 
within 10 days and then they wlll test tvo of them topather and

and laave it to Sdison to Elve you the theory. Up to 2 or 3B 

days 2f0 it was quate possible to run more than ones G dynamo 

in the enntval station. The night befuro last Sdison had this 
coupling arranganent for locking engines together triod and at 
forked wath parfect SuUCGesS, Ne could vary the load just aS iauch 
as ha liked and yet not ret adifferenco in the RARXNR speed of 
tho engine of more than 5 or G rayvolutions a minuto, Paton, the 
‘ranch engineer, 48 now making the drawings of this device and 
makek and they will be sent forward to you as qickly aS possible. 
I othink it would pa vory difficult for ug te state preuisely as to 
Wether tha PortersAllan or Armington &Sims engine will ba usad 
Until after the test has bean inade@ at qoarek St. and the two Are 
mington & Sims engines working together, tigw this bug has been 
aradleated 1b would ‘ppaar that the ventral station machines will

gunoral expenses 18 chargeable to one sixth of what #7L1l be tha 
capdeaty of tha presont half of the station when it is running 

in full bloom. So Sdison is vary vontidont that everything will 
bo all raght so far as the ovonomy goas. Johnsen is assisting

Mr. Edison:- 

Ye are in receipt of a letter from Mr WY J. Menzios to 
whom we sold 20 tons of magnetic ore during the past summer. Wis 
writtny is almost unintelligible so T have had it printed on tho

[ENCLOSURE] 





Dear Sirs- 

I have had the separated sana you sent me exanlin ed and 
find thut it contains 4 per eat of impurity?s This is sv utterly 
different to what it was represented to me as containing, accord- 
ing to tho card analysis you Bave ma,yas partially to rander it 
useless for the special purpos? for which I rayuired it. T havea 
som? of it stall on hand and shall be glad to know if you wilt 
take if buck. Tomust suv I have puid for it yuite undaar a mise 
apprehension, anu this being the ease I shall bea plad to know if 
th Ora Milling Go., will return me the amount TI have pale to thom 
for it, which really T eonsidar shonlu b2 cones, 

Cannot tha Ruison sapurator du batter than this, or am 
I to consider this tha bast that ean ba done? If so I feer it 


will b>? uselass to mea und I was contemplating using it on « large 


Scule at Moisic, T mst say I am not surprised now thut you have 
difficulty in selling the sano you separate. With 4 par gant of 


impurity it is unfit for any direct process for making staal, and 
iron 

only comes under tha catepory of ordinary Mapnetic,ore ~ such as 

“Republic” ore - but in tha fine state of aivision it is in it 


/¢annot b2 usad for Many purposes for vhich Repnblie or? 1s usad, « 


: “. gonsequent ly is ynite dear at $9 por ton. Tf it was really 
what it is raprasentad to be, @ pur? magnetic iron, with o mera 
trac? of impurity, large yuantities conld I have not the slishtest 


te oe doubt be sold at $9. per ton in this district (Pittsburg alone). 


Mr. Fdison assured me - in fact offered to Ruarantes that 


-his machine ‘vould separate within 2 per emt of impurity 70 tons 


ee

aiday first separation. Put through a seeona time al impurity 
wounla bh? taken ont, Now can this b2 accomplished? if so tho 


machines will sell raacily, otherviss they ar? of Little value, 
I shall be glad to havo your reply and ramain, 
Yours truly, 


eee YW. J. Menzias, 





os Would’ Mr Edison Separate the magnetic sana I huve still in Nev 
York abont & tons anu make it pure for ma, If so I shoula be 


ae ; a: 
very fluc to have it and woula get Lt trieaa by the largest steel 


Minn facturer in Pittsburg who ‘vonla want at leust 5000 tons per 
4 


annum if he conld gat it pura.

1882. Patents (D-82-048) 


This folder contains correspondence to and from Edison's patent attorneys, 
along with other correspondence relating to patent applications, patent litigation, 
and other patent matters. Included also are other patent-related documents, such 
as patent applications, caveats, preliminary statements, and a few printed patents. 


Approximately 80 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following 
categories of documents have not been filmed: duplicate copies of correspondence; 
printed copies of Edison's U.S. patents (see Thomas A. Edison Papers Microfilm 
Edition, Part I, reels 1-2); copies of Edison's claims; other inventors' claims, 
specifications, and patents; correspondence and other documents concerning non- 
Edison patents, except when they relate directly to Edison and his work; routine 
bills and receipts from patent attorneys; routine correspondence from patent 
attorneys regarding accounts and fees. 


Application files for Edison's domestic and foreign patents can be found in 
the Patent Series.

UNITED TELEPHONE COMPANY v. MACLEAN, 





OPINION sy LORD MLAREN. 


Tn this case interdict is sought at.the instance of the United Telephone 


Company against the infringement of two patents for telephonic instruments ;- 


the firat being the original telephone invented by Mr Graham Bell, and 
patented in this country in the name of. Mr Morgan Brown; the second 
being the transmitting instrument invented by Mr Edison, and patented in 
his own name, a} ‘ 
The title of the complainers to these patents is set forth in thoir statement 
of facts, and is not denied. The question is, Whether the instruments which, 
according to the evidence, were supplied by the respondent to a professional 
firm in Edinburgh, constitute an infringement of the complainers’ patents 
or either of them? Specimens of the instruments aold by the respondents 
were produced at the trial, and their action explained. It is alleged that 
the respondent used Edison’s transmitting instrument, and Bell's receiving 
insirument, With respect to Bell’s invention the defence is, that the patent 
was anticipated by the premature publication of the invention before the 
letters patent were taken out. With respect to Edison's patent, there are 
two defences: (1) an objection to the patent itself, founded on an alleged 
discrepancy between the provisional and the complete specifications; (2) a 





denial that the respondent's transmitting instrument involves the use of - 


Edison's invention. I shull deal with the cases in the order of discovery, 
beginning with the invention of Mr Bell. ; ; 

The specification of William Morgan Brown, in which this invention is 
described, is divided into various ‘plans,’ which contain respectively the 
descriptions of different instruments, or different variations of the same in- 
strument, adapted for the transmission and reproduction of vocal sounds 
through the agency of the eleotric force. But the only instruments or modes 
of application of Bell’s invention referred to at the trial, were the instrument 
described in plan fourth, and the two instrumenta or modes of application 
which aro described in plan fifth, These three variations of Mr Bell’s inven- 
tion, as I shall call it (becauso it is not disputed that he is the- first and true 
inventor of the telephone), are described with great clearness and fullness 
of detail in the evidence-of Sir Frederick Bramwell, C.E. ‘Under reference 
to this description, which I accept in all ita particulars, I shall state ns briefly 
ag may be the essential partd of Mr Bell’s invention, and shall consider 
whether the invention is disclosed by the alleged anticipatory publication 
with such distinctness as would be necessary to enable a person of skill to 
‘make the instrument, and to put it into effective operation. 








2 


The essential parts of Bell’s invention appear to be (1) a tympanum or cir- 
cular plate of steel, or other metal susceptible of inductive action, for receiving the 
air pulses or undulations of speech ; (2) the transmiasion in a closed circuit of 
electric undulations of the samo order, induced by the vibration of this metal plate 
or tympanum ; (3) the production of a repetition of the spoken sounds at the 
distant station or termination of the line wire by means of another metal tympa- 
num, which, through ‘induction’ or electric agency, is made to vibrate in the same 
manner as the first-mentioned tympanum, and thus to reproduce the vocal sounds 
in facsimile. All tho witnesses are ugreed that, under Bell's process, the trans- 
mission of the electric undulations along the wire is continuous, These undula- 
tions represent variations of the electric current corresponding to the variations 
of the elustic medium thrown into vibration by the voice, and like these they are 
continuous, because the electric force is transmitted from one station to the 
other in a closed Gircuit continuously, and without break or interruption ; 
this is, in truth, the principle of Mr Bell’s invention—the transmission of undu- 
latory electricity in a closed circuit, Prior to this invention, attempts had 
been made with partial success to’ reproduce musical sounds by different 
methods, By delicate mechanism, which it is unnecessary here to describe, the’ 
vibration of a tuning-fork or a musical string’ was made.to alternately connect 
and disconnect two points in an_ electric circuit, and thus to send on a series . 
of uniform and separate pulsations, by which a string tuned ‘to the sanie pitch 
could be made to vibrate at the distant station, The most perfect modification 

‘of this process is that known as Reiss’s invention, by which the sound was 
received on a drum of gold-beater’s- skin or membrane, carrying an armature 
or steel needle capable of inducing electric action in the line wire. By this 
means musical notes and vowel sounds were reproduced. It is clear, however, 
that by Reiss's method spoken discourse could not be conveyed from ‘one station 
to another; and for this reason, that his instrument acted by transmitting a 
series of discontinuous electric impulses resulting from the alternate making. 
and breaking of the circuit, and was therefore not adapted to the tranemission 
of a continuous and variable series of undulations, such as are produced in 
articulate speech, : 

Mr Bell discovered that electric undulations resembling those produced 
by speech could be transmitted through a closed circuit, and his specification 
(Morgan Brown's) describes different instruments and modes of operation for 
producing this result in a manner which is admitted to be clear and intelligible, 

- It is also established that telephones constructed according to Bell’s method 
were extensively used and were of groat utility. 

I now come to the alleged anticipation of the invention through the: pub- 
licity given to Bell’s discovery by Sir William Thomson, in his address to the 
British Association delivered in August or September 1876, 











3 


Sir William Thomson, in his evidence in this case, stated that he was 
present at the performance of Bell’s experiments on the occasion of a visit to 
the International Exhibition at Philadelphia, and that he heard the instrument 
repeat the phrases of Hamlet's Soliloquy, which he quotes in his address. Mr 
Bell, treating Sir William Thomson with the confidence accorded to a scientific 
visitor of distinction, had shewn him his apparatus, explained to him the prin- 
ciple of his invention, and presented him with models or copies of his transmit- 
ting and receiving instruments, Sir William Thomson, in the passage of his 
address to the British Association, which has been reprinted from the news- 
paper called Engineering of 15th September 1876, gave an account of Bell's 
discovery, and he also exhibited models of Bell’s transmitting and receiving 
instruments, The object of the learned lecturer, however, apparently was to 
describe results rather than processes; and although inferentially he may 
have given some indication of the methods employed, I am satisfied that his 
address does not contain such a description of Bell’s process as would, even 
with the aid of the models, enable a skilled operator to produce a working 
telephone on the principle of the specification. Such is the opinion I have 
formed, construing the passage in Sir W. Thomson's address, as I should con- 
strue a specification, after informing myself aa to the state of scientific know- 
ledge on this subject at the time, and with all tho uid which I- have been able 
to derive from the evidence as to the meaning of the terms of art used in the 
address and their application to the models. 

It is plain that the invention had not been perfected—was, indeed, only in 
the experimental stage at the time when Mr Bell explained his method to Sir 
William Thomson, and Sir William in his address did not profess to communi- 
cate anything more than he had received from Bell. Mr Cooke, a witness for 
the respondent thinks that he could have made the instrument from Sir William 
Thomson's description. But then Mr Cooke is an electrician of more than ordin- 
ary skill; and against his view I have to set the statement of another electrician 
of not inferior skill, who, with superior advantages to those of Mr Cooke, tried 
to produce articulate sounds with Bell’s instrument and failed. Besides, I 
muat say that Mr Bell's experimental instrument, as published by Sir William 
Thomson (if the address is held to amount to publication), differed most 
materially from the instrument as patented. First, the transmitting tym- 


‘ panum of the experimental instrument consisted of a stretched mombrane or 


or drum, carrying a steel armature. All the witnesses are agreed that such a 
tympanum is open to serious objection, and that it will not give results 
satisfactory or comparable to those given by a metal transmitter, as described 
in the specification of the patented invention. 

Secondly, the address does not state that the transmission of the electric 
force is to be made through a closed circuit, although this, as I have en- 
deavoured to explain, is really the principle on which the successful working 











Seana ee 








4 


of the invention depends, Jt is true, Sir William Thomson did not profess to 
describe any mechanical appliances for making and breaking the circuit; but 
it does not follow that his audience would draw the inference that the circuit 
was to be closed. He was not professing to give a full description of the me- 
canical appliances used by Bell. Nobody but Sir William Thomson and Bell 
himself knew that the transmission of the electric current was tc be ina closed 
circuit, and yet the skilled operator, who is supposed to be able to work from 
Sir William Thomson’s description, is left to find this out for himeelf. How was 
he to find it out, unless by the exercise of inventive talent; by, in short, 
re-disoovering the principle of Bell’s invention? ‘ 

Thirdly, the plate, or.the tympanum, of the model-receiving instrument 
exhibited by Sir William Thomson, instead of being attached to the transmitting 
case by its circumference, ao as, to imitate the form of a drum, was attached 
by a screw at one point only, as shewn in figure 11 of the respondent's 
print of prior publications. While thus attached, it stuod inclined at un - 
angle to the mouth of the case, like the lid of a box slightly raised. In this 
position the plate would vibrate in the manner of the tongue of a tuning fork, 
and not in the manner of a tympanum. According to all the evidence, such 
a receiving instrument would not repent articulate speech. 


. - -. This brings me_to the decisive part of Sir William Thomson’s evidence. 


This gentleman, himself the most eminent electrician in the United Kingdom, 
possessed of the instruments furnished by Mr Bell, and instructed by Bell as 
to their principle and mode of application, was unable to make them work go 
as to reproduce articulate speech. He was most anxious to exhibit them in 
effective operation at the meeting of the British Association, and after trying 
them with batteries of different degrees of strength, and with every variation 
that his experionce suggested, his experimenta entirely failed, and he was 
obliged to admit his inability to exhibit the telephone in operation. The 
respondent suggests, that if the tympanum or lid had been less rigidly 
attached by its screw, it would have closed down under the attraction of the 
electro-magnetic force, and would then have acted as a closed tympanum 
capable of transmitting articulate speech. To this there are several answers. 
First, this is a suggestion easily made, after the principle of the -closed 
tympanum had been made public through’ Bell’s specification. Secondly, 
Sir William Thomson’s lecture, with the relative model, disclosed a receiving 
instrument with an open and not a closed tympanum. Confessedly such an 
instrument would not reproduce articulate speech, and if the specification 
had given no more information on this head than is given by the model, I 
should have held the patent void, as not sufficiently disclosing the manner 
of performance of the invention. Thirdly, as to the suggestion that o skilled 
operator would have found out the mode of operation when he came to use - 
the instrument, I may observe that, according to patent law, an invention is 
not sufficiently described if experiment be requisite to enable a skilled 











5 


perator to discover the mode of working it; and, after being told by Sir 
William Thomson that his scientific knowledge, aided by personal communi- 


cation with the inventor, did not lead him to infer that the tympanum 


should be kept down in order to the production of the desired result, I can- 
not for a moment suppose that this inference is one that should be drawn by 
an ordinary workman working by the Hesoription contained in Sir William 
Thomson’s address. 

T shall say nothing as to the other publications contained in the respond- 
ent’s print. The last in the order of dates was published after the date of 
the patent. The other publications are less specific than Sir William Thom- 
son’s address, and were founded on by. the respondent's counsel rather as 
evidence of the state of scientific knowledge at the time, andin aid of Sir 
William Thomson’s address, than as independent disclosures of the invention, 


II. I pass to Edison’s patent: and‘ first, as to the objection founded on 
the discrepancy between the provisional and the complete specifications. 
The complete specification describes various telephonic instruments, and, 
amongst others, an instrument known as the phonograph, which records the. 
undulations of a vibrating diaphragm or tympanum, by indenting a series of 
dots on a cylinder, covered with tinfoil, and made to revolve rapidly by clock- 
work, In the reverse or complementary action of the instrument, the sounds may 


be reproduced with more or less distinctness, by giving to another diaphragm 


the motion resulting from a steel point vibrating in contact with the series of in- 
dentations. The description will be found in the paragraph commencing at 
page 11, line 5, of Mr Edison’s specification. The invention includes two pro- 
cesses—first, the recording of the sounds on a sheet of tinfoil; secondly, the 
reproduction of the sound by means of mechanism set in ation by the inden - 
tations on the tinfoil. It is eaid that the provisional specification discloses only 
the first of these two processes; and that the patent is void, because in the 
complete specifichtion the reproduction os well as the recording of the sound 
is claimed. This is an extremely critical objection, and I do not think that 
it is well founded. The provisional specification states (pages 1 and 2), 
* Portions of the apparatus are interchangeably available in transmitting or 
‘ recording ;’ and two lines further down the word ‘ recording’ is explained 
to mean making a record of the atmospheric sound waves, or of the electric 


waves or pulsations corresponding thereto or resulting therefrom. Now, — 


keeping in view that in the telephonic art the words ‘transmitting’ and 

‘transmitter’ are technical terms applicable to the part of the instrument by 

which the speaker’ 8 voice is made to set the electric wire in motion, I think 

that the expression ‘interchangeably available in tranamitting or recording’ 

is for the purpose of a provisional specification a sufficient indication of the 

functions of the phonograph. In the application of the instrument to the 
2 








6 


purpose of recording, the sound waves.are laid down on the oylinder by the steel 
point attached to the tympanum, and vibrating with it. But by the same appara- 
tus the action of transmitting may be produced,—the indentationa on the 
cylinder in this case acting on the steel point and causing the tympanum to 
vibrate, and thus to transmit electric undulations to a line wire, The words 
‘interchangeably available’ may be. open to criticism, but they indicate an 
instrument in which the same mechanism may be used either for recording 
a message, or for transmitting one which has been recorded, 


III. There remaing for consideration the question of the identity of the 
tespondent’s transmitting instrument with the transmitting instrument 
described in Edison’s specification—a question of some difficulty, though I 
have ultimately formed a clear opinion regarding it. In the Bell telephone 
the electric undulations set up in the line wire were comparatively weak, 
and the echo or reproduction of the voice at the distant or receiving station was 
correspondingly faint, so faint that the telephone could only be used within 
moderate distances. Mr Edison's efforts were directed to the discovery of a 
method by which the waves of sound should operate more powerfully on the 
electric current, and this he effected by a process which is described by 
electricians as the method of « varying the resistance’ to the electric current 
in the course of its transmission . through a closed circuit, This was 
accomplished by making o Joint in the circuit near to the transmitter, so that 
the current should at this point pass from one surface to another surface in 


forms of carbon are indicated as the most suitable materials for the purpose, 
According to his description, the variations of pressure between the surfaces, 
consequent on the vibrations coming, from the tympanum, induce variations in 
the electric current proportionate to, but greatly exceeding in magnitude, the 
variations which would be induced by the direct action of the air Waves accord- 


‘In. the firat form of apparatus figured in the specification, the semi- _ 


conducting interposed substance (technically termed the tension regulator) ig 
silk fibre mixed with plumbago. This is Preased by a screw against a platinum 
plate, which again is in contact with the tympanum, and the elasticity of the 
tympanum and of the silk fibre admits of that degree of play between the two 


a? 











7 


surfaces which is requisite for the transmirsion of the variations of pressure 
produced by the vibrations of the tympanum, when acted on by the 
the voice. : : 

In a passage near the top of page 6 tlie inventor describes an alternative 
mode (on which the complainers place reliance), wherein he professes to make 
use of.a variable resistance (é.e., to the electric current), resulting from greater or 
less intimacy of surface contact, such as would result from a disc covered with 
plumbago placed adjacent ‘to a diaphragm also covered with plumbago or 
other semi-conducting material. It is not stated in direct terms how this 
form of tension regulator is to be connected with the transmitting instru- 
ment; but, in fair construction, I think it must be held that it is to be intro- 
duced in the place of the silk fibre, and to be kept in contact with the diaphragm 
by pressure, just as the fibre regulator would be. 

Other modes of maintaining the contuct are described in subsequent parts 
of the specification, in one of which the pressure of a spring is employed. 

It does not appear thut any of the mechanical combinations described in 
the specification ever came into commercial use, probably because, as may 
happen in the history of even the most original and valuable inventions, these 
were immediately superseded by aimpler constructions involving the same prin- 
ciple. It was soon found that no special precautions were needed to prevent 
the separation of tho surfaces constituting the tension regulator.. Fam in- 
formed that Mr Edison now uses a carbon button placed between two plates 
of platinum, without’ the agency of a spring or mechanical pressure to hold 
them together. In the respondent’s instrument, against which the interdict 
is directed, the variations of resistance to the electric current are produced by 
the contact of two surfaces of gas carbon, one of them being loaded with 
a piece of brass, and suspended obliquely, so as to press slightly againat 
the other. To these pieces wires are attached, and the current passes 
through them. This is said to be a different instrument from Edison’s, both 
in principle and construction, It is said that Edison aimed at varying the 
resistance in the line by the compression of a fibrous material throughout the 
mass, and not by the vibration of pressure at the surface of contact. Aguin, 
itis denied that the operation of the respondent's instrument depends on 
pressure. It is said that in his instrument the two carbons react on each other, 
in the manner of rigid, non-elastic, incompressible substances, and that; in- 
atend of the electric current being merely varied, under the influence of vibra- 
tion, as the surfaces of carbon tend alternately to approach and recede from 
each other, the electric current is actually broken at each vibration. According 
to the respondent's theory, his instrument is not an example of the action of 
undulatory ¢lectricity in o closed circuit, but is an extremely delicate ‘make 
‘and break? of the current,so delicate and instantaneous (if I rightly understand), 
that the undulations are virtually, and in their accoustic effects, equivalent to 


continuous vibrations. 





8 


It would probably not be satisfactory to the parties if I should abstain 
altogether from offering an opinion on this interesting scientific question. But 
T think it right to say at once that, in the view I take, its solution cannot affect 
the decision of the case. Because, in my opinion, it is apparent, at least in the 
present state of scientific knowledge, that the principle and mode of action of 
Edison's tension regulator and that of the respondent is one and the same. 
If the respondent's surfaces vary the resistance by a ‘make and break,’ so must 


‘Mr Edison's, Nothing is more clear upon the evidence than that the wonderful 


and hitherto unexplained responsive action of the electric force to vibrations 
propagated through surfaces in loose contact, depends neither on the form of 
the surface nor on the mode or amount of pressure, although some forms of 
contact and of pressure certainly give better results than others, Mr Edison's 
methods have this in common with the respondent’s—that they produce 
similar phenomena under every mode of bringing semi-conducting surfaces 
into contact in an electric circuit, and until some distinction is shewn to exist, 
similar phenomena must, in my opinion, be referred to one and the same 
general law. Even if Mr Edison were held to be in error in supposing that 
his method was that of a closed circuit, yet if it is a useful invention, and 
if it is sufficiently described for ‘practical purposes, it is no objection to his 
patent that he has used language which would be scientifically inaccurate, 


- according to the present state of knowledge. 


While, for these reasons, I hold that, in any view of their mode of action, 
the principle of the respondent’s instrument is identical with Edison's, IT must 
also hold that the weight of the evidence is in favour of the accuracy of 
Edison's desoription of the principle of his invention as being that of o closed 
circuit. : ; 

Sir F. Bramwell and Sir William Thomson are strongly of opinion that artiou- 
Jute speech cannot be, andis not under any of the instruments referred to, -pro- 
duced by u make-and-break arrangement. According to these gentlemen, the 
elastic waves of sound passing through two surfaces in contact produce pheno- 
mena analagous to those produced by the collision of elastic bodies. ‘The surfaces 
in contact are slightly altered in form by the sound vibrations—passing through 
alternate phases of greater and less convexity, or of expansion and compres- 
sion. These changes are understood to be molecular, and do not involve any 
visible change of figure, such as may take place under mechanical or forced vibra- 
tion. During the phases of compression, there are n greater number of molecules 
of the respective surfaces in contact than in the phases of expansion, and the 
transmission of the electric force at each vibration is supposed to be proportional 
to the number and extent of the molecules or minute surfaces in contact. Tofthe 
objection, that carbon (the most sensitive material for this purpose) is not a highly 
elastic body, the reply is, that carbon is sufficiently elastic for the purpose of 





9: 


transmitting. the sound-vibrations, and that its suitability to this purpose de- 
pends on it being a semi-conductor of electricity, A good conductor would 
transmit the force too easily when the pressure was withdrawn. But it is the 
property of a semi-conductor that its power of transmitting the electric force 
varies considerably under varying conditions of pressure, and Edison's inven- 
tion consists in taking advantage of that: property by appropriate appliances, 
Professor Fleeming Jenkin, 2 most accomplished electrician and of very great 
experience, does not differ from Sir F. Bramwell and Sir William Thomson in 
his view of the mode of action of the carbon regulator. All these gentlemen 
are agreed, that when the surfaces are separated even in an infinitesimal. 


‘degree, there results an irregular instead of an undulatory variation in the 


electric current, producing a buzzing sound, and interfering with the accoustig 
action of the instrument. This result may follow even from speaking in too 
loud a tone, and it has been found necessary to moderate the vibrations of 
the tympanum of the telephone by introducing cork between its surface and 


- the carbon regulator, in order that its action may. not be so strong as to cause 


the carbon surfaces to separate under vibration: 
Another point urged for the respondent is, thet under his instrument ¢ a 


tympanum is unnecessary, because the carbon ‘regulator, or microphone, as 


he prefers to term it, is sufficiently sensitive to be acted on by the direct 
pulsations of the air. Now, as Edison’s patent is for a tension-regulator in 
combination with a diaephragm or tympanum, it follows. that the interdict 
sought would not apply to the use of the respondent’s carbon-regulator with; 
outa tympanum, But, in the instruments sold by the respondent, the sound 
is transmitted across a circular metal disco, interposed between the mouth- 
piece and the carbon-regulator, and although this metal disc is mounted on a 
sheet of cork, I have not the smallest doubt that it acts asa tympanum, and 
that it is useful ond necessary adjunct of the accoustic apparatus. The 
cork does not prevent the metal plate from being thrown into vibration by 
the voice; and it transmits the sound waves, possibly with some diminution of 
intensity and suppression of superfluous vibrations, to the carbon-regulator, 


whose function it is to react upon the electric circuit. It was contended 
by the respondent's counsel (if I rightly understood) that-the cork plate would _ 


have the effect of entirely stopping the waves of sound; but this proposition 
appears to me to be untenable, in view of the well-known fact, that sound waves 
are transmitted through tho earth over distances measured by hundreds of 


" . yards, or even miles, traversing in their course substances of the most various 


density and elasticity. 

Being satisfied thet the respondent's instrument is an application of the 
principle of Edison’s teusion-regulator, and that, it involves the combination 
of a tension-regulator with a tympanum, I have only to consider whether the 

3 





aN 


10 


instrument itself i is distinct from anything described by Edison, or is an imita- - 


tion or mechanical variation of his invention. 

In answering the question, it must be observed that Edison's patent is not 
for a specific instrument, but for a combination, in which the material element 
is an ‘electric tension-regulator,’ of which many forms are given, all depending 
on & mode of action of great simplicity, and capable of being indefinitely varied. 
The mode of action I take to be this: The variation of the electric ourrent by 
pressure applied to a carbon surface—not the constant pressure of a screw or 
apring, which is a mere accident of the arrangement—but the clastic pres- 
sure of the sound-waves, which are made to operate upon the carbon through 


a tympanum. In such a ease, it may well be said that the instrument admits 


ofas many variationsus there are modes of bringing two surfaces into contact. 
But however unlike any particular variation may be to those which are de- 
scribed in the specification, yet if the contact ‘is that of o semi-conductor of 
electricity, and is used in a telephone for the purpose of varying the resistance 
to the electric current in the line, I am of opinion that it is a form of Mr 
Edison’s invention, and that the words of the ;epecilica tion are broad enough 
to cover it. 

In the particular case, the reapondent’s form appears to possess such merit, 
that it might have been patented as an improvement upon Mr Edison's tension- 
regulator; but that, of course, would imply that it could not be used without 
Mr Edison’s licence. It follows from this opinion, that the complainers are 
entitled to protection by interdict under Edison’s as well as Bell's (or 
Morgan-Brown’s) patent. HRS

My anid Invention, relating to improveménts in apparatus for the transmission of 
power by electricity, has reference to means of reversing the direction of rotation of 
the armature of » dynamo.electric or magneto electric machine when such machine 
is used for converting am electric current into mechanical power. 

In carrying out my Invention in lieu of using only asingle pair of copper brushes 10 
or equivalent devices as heretofore to admit the current to and conduct it from the 
commutator or collector of the armattire two pairs of brushes or equivalent devices, 
one pair for each direction of rotation may be employed... These brushes or equi~ 
valent devices being arranged in the following manner, videlicet:—On opposite 
sides of the axis of the armature are two pins which ure insulated from the frame 15 
of the machine and from each other, and are coupled together by means of a link 
or any other suitable connection, so as to admit of their being turned simultaneously me 
in the same direction. Each pin carries two collecting brushes or equivalent devices 
so placed that when one of tho brushes (for example) carried by each pin is. in 
contact with the commutator or collector the armature will be caused to revolve in 20 
one direction, and that when the other brush carried by each pin is in contact with 
the commutator or collector the armature will be caused to revolve in the opposite 
direction, “By the act therefore of turning the pins in one-direction or the other, so 
as to bring one or the other of the brushes of each pin into contact with the com- 
mutator or collector, the motion of the armature in the required direction will be 25 
obtained, ‘ 

- ' The accompanying Drawing illustrates the application of my said Invention to 
the commutator or collector of a Siemens, Gramme, or other machine; in Figure 1 
the brushes touch the collector in points appropriate to one direction of rotation; in 
Figure 2, in points appropriate to the opposite direction of rotation. ; : 

A represents the commutator or collector when the machine is used as a motor, 
and a the axis of the armature, the straight arrow through the centre indicating the 
direction of the magnetic force of the fixed magneta,and the curved arrow denoting 
the direction of motion of the armature. On the opposite sides of the axis @ are 
two pins B, 0, each of which carries two collecting Seachas the brushes carried by 85 
the pin B for admitting the current being marked D, D', and those carried by the 
pin C for receiving the current being marked E, EB. The pins are insulated from | 

~ the frame of the machino and from each other'as before mentioned, and are coupled 
together by a link or other suitable convection (not shewn in my Drawings), so as 
to enable them to bo turned simultaneously in the same direction. In Figure1 the 40 
brushes D, E, are represented in contact with the commutator or collector, this 

osition of the brushes being approprate to the direction of rotation of the armature, 
indicated by the curved arrow in that Figure, whilst in Figure 2 the brushes Dt, EY, 
are represented in contact with the commutator or collector, this position of the 
brushes being appropriate to the direction of rotation of the armature indicated by 45 
the curved arrow in Figure 2, and which is the opposite of that indicated in Figure 1, 
By the act therefore of turning the pins B, 8 simultaneously-a reversal of the 
", direction of motion of the armature is obtained. 

In my Drawings tho brushes are peprenenied in contact with the commutator or 

- collector at points somewhat behind a plane perpendicular to the direction of 60 

a, ry force of the fixed magnets, this being in general the most suitable position 
or the points of contact, The commutator or collector js alao shewn as composed

of sixteen divisions, but any other suitable number of divisions may be used. . The 
mode of carrying tho brushes is indicated in the Drawings in its simplest form, but 
it is obvious that the brushes may be pressed against the commutator or collector 
by suitable springs; double brushes may also be used in order to avoid sparks; or 
in lieu of employing brushes equivalent devices for making contact with the com- 
mutator or collector may be used, such, for example, as strips of copper or rollers, 
as will be well understood. : 5 

Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said Inven- 
tion, and a mode in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I would 
observe in conclusion that I make no claim to the use as motors of dynamo-electric 
or magneto electric machines, neither do confine myself to the use of any particular 
construction of dynamo-electric or magneto electric machine, nor to the particular 
mode of arranging the hereinbefore described, and illustrated in the accom~- 
panying Drawings, as it is obvious that the aame may be varied without departing 
from the principle of my said Invention, but what I consider to be novel and . 
original, and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in 
part recited Lettera Patent is,— . 

Effecting the reversal of the direction of motion of the armature or revolving 
portion of dynamo-electric or magneto electric machines when used as motors, by 
changing the position of the points of contact of the brushes or equivalent devices 
aud commutator or collector, substantially as hereinbefore described. 

In witness whereof, I, the said John Hopkinson, have to this my Spocification 
set my hand and seal, the Tenth day of December, One thousand eight

“IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TRANSMISSION OF Power BY ELECTRICITY AND IN THE 
APPARATUS EMPLOYED THEREIN.” 


My said Invention relates to means of reversing the direction of rotation of the 
armature of dynamo-electric or magneto electric machines when the said machines 
are used for converting an electric current into mechanical power, and it has 
reference to improvements upon an Invention in respect of which former Letters 
Patent were granted to me, dated the Twenty first June, One thousand eight 
hundred and seventy nine, No. 2481, ; 

According to my said former Invention I offected the revorsal of the direction of 
motion of the armature of the machine by changing the position of the points of 
contact of the brushes or equivalent devices and commutator or collector. Now 
my present Invention consists chiefly of improved methods of charging the points 
of contact on the commutator or collector of the brushes or equivalent devices for 
the purpose of effecting such reversal of the direction of motion of the armature of 
’ the said machines, | ; ; 

In carrying out my present Invention I employ a single pair of copper brushes or 
equivalent devices to admit the current to and conduct it from the commutator or 
collector of the armature, these brushes or equivalent devices being arranged in tho 
following manner, videlicet :— . 

On opposite sides of the axis of tho armature are two ‘pins which are insulated 
from the frame of the machine and from éach other, and are coupled together by 
means.of a link or any other suitable connection so as to admit of their being

be caused to revolve in one direction, and that when the opposite face of each 
brush is in contact with the commutator or collector the armature will be caused to 
revolve in the opposite direction. By the act, therefore, of turning the pins in one 
direction or the other through a sufficient angle so as to bring one face or the other 
of each brush or equivalent device into contact with the commutator or collector 
the motion of the armature in the required direction will be obtained. 

Or in lieu of the preceding arrangement the brushes or equivalent devices may 
be caused to change the points of contact with the commutator for the purpose of 
effecting a revorsal of the direction of rotation of the armature by sliding the said 
brushes or equivalent devices round the commutator or collector, instead of rotating 
them about an axis. In this caso the brushes or equivalont devices may be 
carried by a cross piece (from which they are insulated) moveable about the same 
axis as the armature, and the electrical connections are by preferenco mado by 
means of spring contact pieces arranged in relation to fixed metal pieces so as to 
be connected with cither the positive or negative source of electricity only when 
the brushes or equivalent devices are in or near their correct position, 

‘And in order that my said Invention may be fully understood, I shall now 
proceed more particularly to describe the same, and for that purpose shall refer to 
the several figures on the annexed Sheet of Drawings, the same letters of reference 
indicating corresponding parts in all the Figures, 

Figures 1 and 2 of my Drawings are diagrams of a commutator or collector with 
my said Invention applied thereto, according to one modification of the same, the 
brushes being shewn in different positions in the two Figures; Figures 3 and 4, 
and Figures 6 and 6 are similar views to Figures 1 and 2, illustratiog respectively 
two other modifications of my said Invention. 

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, A represents the commutator or collector of a 
Siemens, Gramme, or other equivalent machine, when used as a motor, anda the 
axis of the armature, the straight arrow through the centre indicating the direction 
of the magnetic force of the fixed megnets, and the curved arrow denoting the 
direction of motion of the armature. On opposite sides of the axis a are two 
pins B, C, each of which carries a collecting brash, the brush carried by the pin B 
for admitting the current being marked D, and the brush carried by the pin C for 
receiving the current being marked E. The pins are insulated from the frame of 
the machine and from each other, as before mentioned, and are coupled together by 
a link or other suitable connection (not shewn in my Drawings) so as to enable 
them to be turned simultaneously in the same direction. In Figure 1 the brushes 
D, &, aro represented with one of their faces in contact with the commutator or 
collector, this position of the brushes being appropriate to the direction of rotation 
of the armature indicated by the curved arrow in that Figure, whilst in Figure 2 
the brughes are represented with their opposite faces in contact with the com- 
mutator or collector, this position of the brushes being appropriate to the direction 
of rotation of the armature indicated by the curved arrow in Figure 2, and which 
is the opposite of that indicated in Figure1. By the act, therefore, of turning 
the pins B, C, simultaneously a reversal of the direction of motion of the 
armaturo is obtained. . ’ ; ; 

According to other modifications of the Invention, which are illustrated in 
Figures 3 and 4, and Figures 5 and 6, tho brushes D, E, are caused to change the 
points of contact with the commutator or collector A for the hase of effecting 
the reversal of the direction of the rotation of the armature by sliding the said 
brushes round the commutater. In the example shown in Figures 3 and 4 the 
brushes are slid round in one direction, whilst in the example given in Figures 5 
and 6 the brushes are slid round in the opposite direction, the same effect, videlicet, 
the reversal of the direction of rotation of the armature, being obtained. For this

the positions shewn in Figures 3 and 5 to the positions indicated in Figures 4 and 6, 
or vice versa, according to the direction of motion required. 

It is preferred to break the cireuit during the passage of the brushes from one 
position to the other by the employment of spring contact pieces G, H, connected 
respectively with the brushes D, E, in combination with fixed metal pieces I, K, 
and I}, Ki, connected with sources of electricity of an opposite denomination, with 
which metal pieces the brushes make contact only when the former are in or near 
the correct positions. 

Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said 
Tnvention, and the manner iu which the same js or may be used or carried into 
offect, I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original, 
and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the hereinbefore in part 
recited Letters Patent is,— 

Firat. Tho mothod of changing tho points of contact on the commutator or 
collector of the brushes or equivalent devices, for the purpose of reversing the 
direction of rotation of the armature or revolving portion of the machine, by 
carrying such brushes or equivalent devices upon pins moveable about separate 
axes in such a manner that opposite faces of the brushes or equivalent devices may 
be brought into contact with the commutator or collector, substantially as herein- 
before described. 

Second, The method of changing the points of contact of the brushes or 
equivalent devices, and commutator or collector, for the purpose of reversing the 
direction of rotation of the armature or revolving portion of the machine by sliding 
such brushes or equivelent devices round the commutator or collector, substantially 
as hereinbefore described. : 

Third, In combination with the subject matter of the second claiming claure, the 
mode of breaking the electric circuit when the brushes or equivalent devices are 
in any other but an appropriate position, substantially as hereinbefore described. 

In witness whereof, I, the said John Hopkinson, have to this my Specification 
set my hand and seal, the Twenty eighth day of April, One thousand 
eight hundred and eighty.

"Figure eprodeite in elevation an electric hoist for raising weights attached to 


either end of the chain A, which hangs over the chain pulley B, O is a dynamo 
electric machine, which, in the example illustrated in the Drawings, is connected 
with the pulley B by gearing C', and for convenience is arranged above the 
pulley B, the whole of the parts being carried by a suitable frame B’. D is a 
reversing arrangement, such as is described in the Specification to former Letters 
Patent granted to me, dated the Fourteenth November, One thousand eight hundred 
and seventy nine, No, 4668 ; or that described in the Specification to other Letters 
Patent granted to mo, dated the Twenty first June, One thousand eight hundred 


_and seventy nino, No, 2481, may bo substituted therefor, by which arrangements 


aro effected the reversal of tho direction of motion of the armature or revolving 


‘portion of the machine by changing the position of the points of contact of the | 


brushes d, or the equivalent devices;and the commutator or collector é, Within 
the pulley B, or if anche convenient on any other of the shafts, is tho sorew a of the. 
Weaton clutch; which is shewn-in section in Figure 2, The action of this clutch 
in its various forms is well known. If a weight be hanging on one end of the 
chain A tho pulley B will turn on the screw a, and will clamp itself to the ratchet 
swheel K, which are held by detents B, If tho dynamo electric machine C rotates - 
in the direction of lowering the weight the clamping action is released, : ; 

Figure 8 is a view of the reversing gear seen from the inside; Figure 4 shews 
tho same as seen from the outside. E is a double spring, each limb of which presses 
strongly againat o fixed stud F, G is a wheel carrying the holders o of the 
brushes d, which are in contact with the commutator e; this wheel is moved in 
order to change the position of the points of contact of the brushes d with the 
commutator ¢, and thus start the apparatus by the act of pulling the hand cord H, 
and when so moved in either direction tho.stud .I presses against one of the. 
springs 15, at once encountering considerable resistance therefrom. When the cord H 
is released, and the wheel G consequently set freo, the spring E will force the 
into the neutral position indicated in the Drawings, 
in which the contact pieces /, electrically connected with the brushes d, are situate 
centrally between the binding screws or terminals g, and: the- hoist will cease to . . 
move. ; 


- In onde to economically vary. the speed of a tram car, tram engine, -or other 


i i by. electricity, two dynamo electric machines may. be used, on.the ~ 
ied patsy vehicle, and hed high speed. is desired these are arranged in parallel’ 


circuit; when a low. speed and greater tractive. force is required they are arranged --

Dear Sirs:~ 

Referring to the cable correspondence confirmed else- 
where, I would call your attention to the fact that in English patent 2927 
and U. 5, patent 213550, a machine is described where Morse characters were 
indented in paper ahd the characters reproduced audibly from these indentations. 
This apparatus was exhibited in Paris and at the Crystal Palace and was seen 
by Mr. W. H. Preece and Mr. Fisher in operation the day before they left America 
when they were over here, . 

This faa the origin of the Phonograph. You will notice in my 
Telephone Interference case Book Exhibit 7-12, dated July llth, 1877, the top 
figure shows what is indicated in last paragraph of No. 2909. This was the 
crude application of the Phonograph's principle io telephony. The wheels had 
on their surface the indentations of a spoken letter. On touching a particular 
key the contact spring was vibrated and transmitted the waves over the wires, # 
through the medium of the Carbon Tension Regulator, where it was rendered audibb 
by a telephone receiver, Exhibit 115-12, dated August 17th, 1879, shows the 
Phonograph more developed and usdd as a recorder in a telephone circuit, it is 
the bottom figure. 

I send you herewith the Nottage contract which is invalid as he 
refuses to sell any Phonographs and only exhibits them, We had a great deal 
of trouble to get any money from him, but I think that eventually $1,000 were 


obtained, Mr. Theo. Puskas, 33 Avenue de 1' Opera, Paris, will advise you fully 


as to this. For three or four years past I have not heard from Nottage. You will 








oe 


Quen 


notice in the next to the last clause in contract with Nottage that we are allowed 
to disclaim whatever is necessary, Please take great care of the agreement and 
return it ab your convenience as I have no other copy. 

I am very sorry that there should have been so much delay in 
answering your cable, but as I was away, together watt Mr, Johnson and Mr, Insull, 
there was no one here to reply. 


- Yours truly, 


(Signed) THQOMAS.. A. EDISON

Menlo Park, N. J. 
Dear Sirit-~ 
Immediately after your visit this afternoon, when you 

showed me Mr Dyer’s report upon Major Wilber’s report to me, dated 
July 24the, I sent for Major Wilber and had a talk with him. ~ He 
denies in toto ‘ive charges sustained by Mr Dyer’s report and by 
the accompanying exhibits ob&ained from the various examiners in 
the. Patent Office. Major Wilber pledges me his work, franly 

and boldly, that every statement he has made in his report is 
true, ordinary errors in clerical work excepted, and that he will 
‘Basdeby ane or any committee of our Board of Directors ies he 

has been guilty of no dishonesty or irregularity, and that th@ 
charge that he has reported cases as filed when they -heve not 
been filed is utterly false. He leaves for Washington this 
evening to investigate the matter and promises to make a good 
\ report to me by the end of the week, 

| ‘I told Major Wilber that I thought a prima facie case 
had been made out against him, and that under the circumstances 

I could not continue him his present responsible position until 
he had cleared himself, I told him that TI should at once put 
Mr Dyer a charge of his office and asked him. to consider himself 


suspended, until he shall have cleared himself, In reply to this 











2 

he said he was entirely willing I should do so and that he could 
not se¢é how I could do else, He will accordingly report to 
Gol. Dyer in Washington on the taking of testimony in the rail- 
road case of Edison vs. Siemens— Field, the testimony in which case 
Will be taken in this city Thursday. He will ask Col. Dyer to 
come to New York to take charge of taking the testimony. I had 
intended, in order to save the expense of taking outside counsel, 
to let Wilber take this testimony, a service for which he would 
not be paid outside of his regular salary. °I.will write o£, 
Dyer about this by this evening's ore 

Regarding the alleged difficulty in obtaining copies 
of papers Wilber states that Svery paper that has ever been filed 
or been prepared for filing, is in his room properly arranged in 
boxes which Mr Dyer understands and that Mr Dyer is entirely at 
liberty to come there at any time and make any copies he may 
desire, on either your direction or Arie: Wilber states that 
it will not be necessary for him to be here in order to enable 
Mr Dyer to get such papers as he will require to commence immed— 
late work on these cases, but that Dyer will find them in the 
proper boxes in Wilber’s room, He makes however the proper re- 
quest that if Mr Dyer removes any papers whatever he will leave 
& receipt for them, I told him that Mr Dyer would of course 


do that in any event without being especially asked to do so. 





3 

Regarding the patents already allowed (Wilber says 
there are 28), will you kindly request Mr Dyer to at omce take 
them out without any delay and to draw upon this Company for the 

necessary ranger I told Major Wilber that I shoata ask Mr 
Dyer to do this. Will you kindly pass this letter over to him 
Ana ask him to attend to it. I will write him officially on 
the subject. 

Wilber meets this charge in a way that puzzles me more 
than ever. He declares himself absolutely innocent, and he un- 
' hesitatingly makes a counter charge that the gitecatieae sustained 

= by the report and exhibits are false, both in general and in 
detail and that they were gotten up to injure him without foun- 


dation or truth. This puzzles me, However, wa will get to the 


bottom of the thing in a few days, and we will then know just 


What the facts are, 


Very truly yours, 





Vice President.

Dear Siri- 

The quistion of suing Maxim and San will cone up at 
the Hext Director's meeting. I should be much pleased to have your 
views in writing to submit, 

In this connection let me call your attention to the 
enelosed letter from Mr, Rogers, of Boston, to Mr, Wright, dated 
October 28th, contasning a lengthy advertisement cut from the 
Boston papers of the New England Weston Hieetiie Light company, 
wherein they advertise their Maxim light at length. ‘The Swan 
coltpany are equipping their factory for manufacturing lamps on 
& considerable scale. There is an advertisement in the Sun of 
today advertsing for glass blowers to blow bulbs for incandescent 
lamps for Swan, The Brush seman have analgamated throughout 
the United States with the Swan company. Tho Brush company has 
G4 local companies in the United States and I am satisfied they | 
are all preaching the Swan lamp. Our Chicago Company complains 
repeatedly of the injury being done both by the Maxim and Swan 
people, 


The question to be decided is whether we shall sue Svan 


and Maxim, or either of them, If we do not, we shall lose pres- 











2 
tige and possibly business, Will you kindly give me your views 
as our Board wlll be unwilling to act upon the question of bifinging 
suits without first getting your opinion? 


Very truly yours,

_ Afterall tho attempts. of electricians to

of that worked by steam, there’has up to the

market which is both ceonomical and prac-

phere is this engine now? Patron anc 4

was introduced and: is now in us,“ re:

’ briefly the status of ‘tha, electrival locomo-

cwhy they are impracl cable in our atreats. 
Tn a conversation with Dr. Perrio of this 
city some interestimg facts ‘on this subject

“Why chy it,” thie doctor was asked, “that 


Edison's machines not in uso?”? zi 
Bocauso,? seid ho, “of ite lack of econo- '

reason. But thore is another in tho fact that 
‘a third rail is necessary. This rail is charged 
with electricity and if a horse or man gata 
his foot upon it ths shook ig certain death. 
Ro such rail may be laid m our streets. Tho 
system. in use ‘in Berlin would also be im-* 
racticable. because of ‘its wastefalnoss. 
When you Produce oléctricity by steam and

Company, a Chilean company organized by Husbands. Other documents pertain to 
Husbands! estrangement from Edison.

Relying upon this information, I called upon Messrs, Anderson & “Co., in the 
afternoon of the 15th day of May, 1882, and had an interview with Mr, Arthur 
. Anderson spersonplly—inghis private room, Ho asked mo if I had offered tho 
“Busiifess fo ay Btlfer brokers? and I then told him I had taken it to ono firma, and 
that the reason why I had not come to him before was that I did not feel I could 
get justice done tomo and my Company by his firm, inasmuch as I considered 
their interests were bound up with business of a similar kind to that proposed to 
bo carried on by, this Company, which therefore might possibly become an 
opposition to‘his clients. He said that ho knew something of the business and 
it looked very well, and if I allowed his firm to bo employed, they would use their 
best endeavours to promote the success of the business. From his assurances I was 
so led to believe that I should receive justice, support, and fair treatment from his firm, 
that I at once asked that his firm should act as brokers, and desired him to 
accept the employment directly, and I handed him a proof prospectus of the Com- 
pany. He said the business looked ‘first-rate in every ‘particular and he thought 
it would float, but could not give mo a definite answer until he had looked 
over the prospectus and consulted one other person ; that if I pressed the matter 
so as to require an immediate answer he would be obliged to‘say “ No ;” but if I 
waited until 2 o'clock the following day le would probably give me a favorable 
reply. I then stated that time was of urgent importance, but that I would consent 
to wait for ono moro day and would call for his answér to-morrow. We talked 
about the legitimacy of the business, that this Company was formed and would 
acquire a going business for the * purposes of legitimate commercial’ enterprise, and 
would in no manner bo similar to other Electric Light Companies whoso shares 
wero going to such an inflated price. He said it looked very well and would 
go off beyond a question,. the’only doubt in his mind being whether or not 
it interfered with -his arrangements with another person (which ‘person I 
believe to bo Colonel George Edward Gouraud, for whom ho was about ‘to 


bring ott an Edison Electric Light Company). After expressions ‘of goodwill 


and co-operation we separated to meet on tho following day at 2 o'clock, 
at which time ho ‘promised ' to give me a positive answer after having consulted 
his frierid, the porson to whom’Lie had before referred, 


* The following day, at 1,40 in the afternoon, I ‘called in company with Mr. 
John Walsh, of 89, Lombard Street. As wo entered tho office we observed ono to 
the ather, that it was a little early (being 20 minutes beforo tho time ‘appinted). 
Some ‘of the clerks in tho offico informed us that Mr. Anderson was in tho 
Houso, aud would bo in shortly, and ono of them went to fetch him, | He camo 
in, and after boing introdticed to. Mr.’ Walsh, saidhe-~was -very-sorry. that he 
could not give me his answer ag ho had been unable to see his friend, although ho had 
been looking for him, and sending notes to him throupigut the day, and 
at that moment a clerk, from hia offica was engaged in hunting him up, with 
instructions not to leare the matter until he had “ run him to earth,” and that he 
would give mo his answer tlie moment he reecived word that ho had been found, 
which might occur at ary moment, “Also that ho iad looked the matter over eare- 


[ENCLOSURE] 





fully, and he saw uo objection to accepting the management of the affair as brokers 
for tho Company unless his friend objected, ‘which ho was quite sure he would not, 
We were told to drop i in about four o'clock. © At about that hour wo again entered 
the office (tr. Walsh and myself), when he snid that he had seen his frichd, and he 
saw no conflicting interest or had any objections to the matter being arranged, “and 
that he would allow the use of his firtn’s namo, and that they would act as brokers 


: for the Company. 


Having accepted, he nid, “ Ni ow, Mr, Husbands, what do you propose in 
the way of our fees?” I stated that I did not wish his fir im to work for nothing, 
and was willing to pay handsomely, as I wanted first-class | services, attention, and 
influence, and wished to pay asulficient sum to ensure my obtaining them, Consider- 
able conversation ensued in regard to this matter, which ended in this way—by Mr. 
Anderson stating that they had no regular fee, as it waa always a matter of agree- 
ment, .I asked him repeatedly to nad his terms, which he answered by asking, 
“What will you give?” And [ said it was the-services of their firm we desired, 
and that I had no rightto make terms for the same; and after being pressed for a 
reply, stated that I was willing to give 1,000 guineas. Ho answered immediately 
by stating thas they never took any companies for a less sum than that, under any 
circumstances, and that he w: as going to name 2,000 guinons, which was tho usual foo 
for companies of this description, and, in addition, two shillings per sharo commission 
onall allotted shares bearing their stamp, I stated that I was willing to pay the sum 
named if he would vender me faithful and loyal services in the floating my Company; 


also that I was aware that it was an extraordinary price, and in| conscquenca desired . - 


that the monoy should be paid to thom after allotment for the purposes of ensuring 


the dosired interest in the business on their bohal£, ‘Phero was somo discussion about 
_ tho largo amount, and Mr, Anderson afterwards stated that ho might be willing to 
_ take 1,500 guineas, as this seemed to bo an execedingly good affair, I stated, in 


auswer to that, that Iwas willing to pay 2,00) guineas if ho would uso his best 
endeavours to float the Company, which, ho assured m> ho would do. I talked 
vory frankly at this interview in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and male 
my excuses to Mr, Anderson forso doing, Ho answered by saying ho liked to do - 
business in that manner, and in no way took offenco at my varnestness to secure 
propor services, influence, and co-operation without rogard to prico, After advising 
with him as to advertising, prospectuses to bo sent out, &e., wo parted, I feoling 
gratified at securing thewarm eo-oporation of a firm so ominont in theirlino of business, 


Upon tho following day in tho afternoon I again visited the office of 
Messrs, Anderson & Oo., with Mr, H. H, Eldrod, of Nu. 81, Queon Victoria 
Stroot, whon-Mr, Anderson-was-not in, and did my business with Mr. Wilson and 
another gentleman whose name I do not know, but who, I was led to believe, was 
s partner in tho firm, I stated tho urrangemont I had made tho previous day 
with Mr, Arthur Anderson in porson, and informol tom that I had submitted 
tho matter to our Board of Directors ond that the appointment of 
their firm. aa brokers was satisfactory to th Directors as well as to myself,

byt that the fee to be paid for their services should secure us their very utmost 
endeavours, and tho obtaining of 9 special settling day, and the quotation of the 
Shares of the Company in the Official List. They informed mo that thoy 
could not guarantee such, as thera might be a legal difficulty over which they had 
no control, but, so far as their best endeavours and influence were concerned, it 
should bo freely given, and upon this point there was no question. I dictated a 
letter to the shorthand writer in their presence which stated the. consideration to 
be paid by me for their services as Brokers as also the agreement on my part, which 
I signed. After this letter was written thoy gave me a press copy of the same, a 
copy of which is apponded hereto, At tho same time a letter from Messrs. 
Anderson and Co, to mo was dictated by one of them to their shorthand writer and 
was referred to Mr. Arthur Anderson, who had in the meantime arrived. He, 
having read this letter, expressed his assent thereto as well as to the letter which 
T had written, and stated that all was according to agreement and satisfactory, 
and he requested me to send to his office some prospectuses of the Company, 
and the matter would be vigorously prosecuted. Mr, Eldred and mysclf talked 
frankly and freely to the better understanding of tho agreement ani its interpreta- 
tion as herein expressed, 


The prospectus of the Company was advertised in the London and pro- 
vincial daily papers on the morning of May 18th. I sent down to Messrs. Anderson 


and Co, about.1,700 prospectuses, the whole of which were subsequently returned: 


with the exception of about two or threo hundred. The Company was most 
fayourably received, and undoubtedly would have been fully subscribed over and 
over again provided Messrs, Anderson and Co. had been loyal to the engagement 
they had entered into, and givon me their faithful services as promised, 


Many:applications for shares camo to our offico; and ‘persons also desired to - 


and did fill up application forma, and draw cheques in-my presence for large amounts 
of shares, but, owing to rumours circulated throngh the means of: Messrs, Anderson 
and Co,, or persons in their interest, detrimental to the: Company, the applications 
were never lodged at the Bankers, 


This intorest continued until tho middle of the afternoon of that day, when 
all'interest in the matter seom to flay and die away from some cause unknown to 
us, This sudden depression and apachy continued through tho following days, 
Friday and Saturday, and was the subject of discussion. amongst the Directors of 
this Company and myself, as well as many friends, all of whom were at a loss to 
understand why so yood u business should not be well: received—a business that on 
its face bore the impress.of reality, and.éno. that.was in no way bused’ upon the 
excited state of the Electrical Share Market, butupon.actual values and vested rights. 


What was still more surprising, spplications which wero‘known to:bo filled out: 
were, for some reason, not lodged in the Bank, tho total numbor of applications at . 


the Bank being 1,955, whilo several times that numbor wero known to havo been made 
out and cheques drawn therefor. Only one application for.200 shares was subscribed 


through Messrs, Anderson and-Co. During tho two days last mentioned; I' visited

Messrs, ArthurAndergon and Co,, soveral times, and was at a loss to understand why 
nobody in the firm seemed to take any interest in the business, I soveral times urged 
them to scnd out prospectuses, stating that’ they would do no good piled up in their 
office whero we had left them, and urgdd them to prosecute the affair and pash tho 
matter to a successful issue. Up to this time, say three o'clock Saturday afternoon of 
May 20th, no complaint had been made to me of any kind or character, all parties 
speaking of thu business in the most favourable terms, About four o'clock on 
Saturday afternoon of May 20th, I'entered Messrs, Anderson and Co.’s office and 
met Mr, Kennett (one of our directors), who requested me to walk back into the 
office with himself and Mr, Wilson (of Anderson and Co.) Mr. Kennett asked Mr, 
Wilson, “ Shall I tell him?” Mr, Wilson said, “Yes.” Ibad no Imowledgo up 
to this timo of what had been going on, Mr, Kennett thon rend a copy of a 
cablegram from Mr. Edison, to the effect that his name was not authorised to be 
used as Consulting Electrician to a Brush Electric’ Light Company, which 
was truc, It was never the infention to so uso it, Mr, Kennett was 
very much excited, and said he bad: been very badly treated, and that’ he 
should resign his position as director, I stated chat he could do what 
he plensed, but I had used the name of Edison with authority (which 
I hed bought and paid for) for telephones for the West Const of South 
America, and that if he took the liberty of saying that I had not authority, he 
must do go upon his own responsibility. Mr, Wilson said it was a vory bad matter, 
and he did not see how the thing could go on, or words to that offect, 
Iwas dumbfounded for the moment, and immediately left thie offic, and visited 
my aolicitora, Messrs, Davidaoh and ‘Morris, who stated that thoy thought I had a 
clear right to uso the namo of Edison in regard to telephones, and they did 
not think that any disinterested person would construc it to apply to the “ Brush 
Light.” I visited tho house of Colonel George Edward Gouraud at Norwood on 


the samo evening, and learned from him sufficient to throw considerable light: upon 


the matter, which was to the effect that Mr. Anderson and he, cithor with or 
without Mr. Johnson, the. agent of Mr, Edison, had beon instrumental in 
Mr, Edison’s dcelining the use of his namo with rogard: to Electrio light from 
reports mado by thom—to me unknown—and came to the conclusion that tho lack 
of interest shown for the two days provious was on account of these: nego- 
tiations by cable, Colonel Gouraud and Mr, Johneon admitted that my-con- 
struction as to the uso uf Mr. Edison’s namo‘as consulting electrician for tho 


telephone was correct, but that Mr. Edison could not allow the uso of his namo for 


a Brush Light Company. He (Uol,.Gouraud) also stated that ho know Mr Kennett 
would resign his seat on the Board, and when ho had dono eo Mr, Sandoman 
would also resign his seat on tho Board, and. whon theso. two had 
vacated their seats Mr. Pixley would also leave, and that: Mr, Anderson. would 
withdraw at any timo, “ And then, where are you?” hesaid. As to-whore I am I 
havo found out, but-as to the Directors resigning, I am proud to stato that they 
not only retained’ their places but‘ have'been warm in their sympathy towards me 
for the unwarrantable mannor in'which I have been deceived, I cabled to Mr. Edison 
stating frankly that the interpretation placed by Messrs. Anderson and Gouraud

was one which had not been suggested from any other source, and I. disclaimed any 
intention of.using his name in any manner oxcopt.as I had a logal right to do, 
He replied, that I, should deal with Mr. Johnson in the matter. Mr. Johnson 
(Mr. Edison’s agent) met our Board of Dircetors, all of whom stated the facts in the 
case, the bona fides of which Mr, Johnson freely admitted, and stated that but for the 
decision in Mr, Justice Fry's Court against the United Telephone Company, on 


_ Friday, May 19th, 1882, probably no notice would have been taken of it, This 


decision was in no way connected with mo or mine or I with it, execpt insomuch as 
Toccupied the same building with tho gentleman who owned.tho patent assailed by the 
United Telephone Company. Mr, Johnson agreed with the Directors that if the 
Company made the samo explaaation in the papers that I had made to him, it would 
be satisfactory so far as he was concerned, but before he (as Mr, Edison’s agent) 
could positively agree to tho same it must be submitted. to Mr. Waterhouse, 
Mr. Jobnson’s solicitor here, I,accompanied Mr. Johnson to his solicitor’s office 
(Messrs, Waterhouse and Winterbottom) and- the following notice appeared 
in the daily papers as approved by them :— :

It having been brought to the attention of the Directors of this

On Monday afternoon, Mny 22nd, I called on Mr. Anderson at his 
office in company with Mr. J. Walsh, and saw him ‘at 2.80 pm. in regard to 
matters. We ‘had a long converaation, in which he repcatedly stated 
that the business was a very good one, and ho did not see whiy it did not go 
except on account of the general depression in Electric Light Shares, and that 
the decision in the telephone suit mighé have something to do with it, which 
in no way related to South American business, ‘I talked vory frankly to Mr. 
Anderson, tolling’ him that I did not’ expect’ the business to go without o 
leader, and that we had ‘entrusted the leadorship to him. ° I gpoko in all 
matters in a frank, straightforward ‘manner, when Mr. Anderson turned 
and said, “Mr. Husbands, you have beon perfectly frank with me, and 
now I will be equally frank with you. I admit your company to be a good 
one, and at any other: time would have gono off quickly. I took the business 
on the prospectus, and did not take legal advive on tho matter as I should have 


done, and believed it to bo a thoroughly Ediéon Company.” 


being used as Consulting Electrician, Tho justice of -my position he freely 
admitted, and, stated that the whole matter rested in the fact that he was an

Edison Light man, and did not believe in the Brush system ; that they were 
all “ played out ;" and that the-Edison was the coming system ; that ho was 
about to bring out on Edison Electric Light Company for himself, Colonel 
Gouraud and others, and that “he had not recommended tho Anglo-Pacific 
to any of his clients for the reason that it was obviously opposed to his intorest, 
and that he could not allow a Brush Company to boa success from his office, He 
procecdeéd to state that he was thoroiighly Edisonian, and had lost considerable 
business by confining ‘himself to’ the Bdison Light by not taking other systems, 
and that this was ‘the firat “ outside Eleatric Light Company” he ‘had taken, 
He said he was very sorry that he could do me no good; that he had not 
and could not benefit the interest of our company ; that he had not treated 
me right and done his duty by me, and that, he would make no charge 
for the use of his ‘name. ; ‘He also “stated thatthe matter was so damaged 
that it was uéélégs ‘to proceed further with ‘the “company. 

From the foregoing statement of facts, but one conclusion can bo 
arrived at, viz. that Messrs, Anderson & Co., had motives for seeking 
the business and preventing me from employing other brokers who would have 
been faithful to me atid that the tidgotiitious with Mr. Edison wero of such a 
character as to tafitrly inform him of their truo intent, and that his authority 
was used by Messrs. Arthur Anderson & Co., to cover up the arrangements 
which they had entered into for the purpose of preventing the success of this 
Company. And I further claim that Messrs., Anderson -& Co., had 
no right to circulate rumours, and to act contrary to the interests of this 
compiny without, my knowledgo, nor take the matter in their own hands, ond 
that if they wore dissatisfied with their position as Brokere of the Company, 
their proper course was to withdraw from the trust reposed in thom, or else to 
do their duty. : 


T also fail to understand why a firma of ‘brokers shonld allow themselves 
or bo'allowed to bo influenced ‘or’made to take “action by ono cliont to the 
detriment of anothor from personal or any other grounds, 


T would farther state, that from no fault of mine or the prospectus ‘or 
the business to be acquired by the Company, but on the subterhigo ‘of a mero 
technical misconstruction of Mr. Edison’s ‘namo on ‘tho proapectus as Con- 
sulting Electrician, Méssrs‘Anderson & Oo:, havo wreoked tho company ‘inoat 
completely, not only causing me a loss of prospectivd ‘profits, but of ‘actital 
money exponditare made ana'to be mado ia ondéavoririzig'to Nout the Company of 
over £4,000. p22 ; : 

In conclusion, I would stato that I am an American citizen, for some 
years residing at Valparaiso, South Amorica, and have been led to believe that 
Messrs. Arthur Andérson & Co., wero'a respectable firm, and that any_contract 
made by them would be kept to the letter. I haye noredress in the matter, and 
beg that you will take this complaint under your consideration, and act in 
such a manner as yon may deem expedient, but I desire, if it can bedone by

PROSPECTUS. 


A bees Company is formed to purchase, take over and extend the existing systems’ of Telephone 
“L Exchanges and Private Lines—now owned by the “Ia Compania Chilena de Telefonos de 
Edison "—and to introduce Electricity for illumination and as a motive power throughout Chili, Peru, 
and other countries lying upon the West Coast of South America. i 


The Exclusive privilege granted to Prof. Thornas Alva Edison-by the supreme decree of the Govern-. 


ment of Chili, April 26th, 1880, and: to be assignedi to this Company, lag been: tested in the: Courts. by: : 


arties importing ‘Telephones into Chili. The case-was: tried in the Criminal Court: at “Valparaiso, with a 
P Pp is P. “alp 


_ sucessful issue and the decision was affirmed on appeal by the Supreme Court of Chili, ‘Santiago. 


This Compauy..will'thus. own the sole. right to transact 3 Teleghone_ business tlyonghont:, Chili. It 
will acquire the assignment: of Edison, Bell,-Blake, Dolbear,,Hunnings, Anders, Watson.and other inventors’ 
rights in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuader, and applications to the Governments of those countries for the 
exclusive usé of Telephonic inventions, rights and apparatus covering those of the above-named inventors, 
have been duly filed. In addition it has secured-from the Anglo-American Brush Electric Light 
Coporation, Limited, the exclusive concession ‘to work the “ Brush” system .of Electric’ Lighting and 
Power for the whole West Coast of South America. till December 1891. : ae 


The combination of Telephone and Electric Lighting business under-one management presents the 
especial advantage of the saine staff and general establishment being sufficient for both purposes. - 


In addition to the already successfully established and increasing business. aéquired by this 
Company, from which satisfactory results may be expected the first year, it is the intention of the Directors 
to immediately extend operations in the principal cities on the West Coast. 


The prospects for Electric Lighting. upon the West Coast are very promising, the custom of the people 
being. to promenade the streets and parks during the evening. The fact that the principal businesses— 
mining, smelting, shipping, &c , are earried on by night as well as by day, a wide field is open for the us¢é 
of the “ Brush? Electric Light so well adapted for illuminating large spaces, 


The transportation of fuel and water in the mountainous regions of those countries is so expensive that 
the adaptation of electric power carried to the required place by itsown agency would have great advantages 
over steam, and probably revolutionize the vast mining operations on the ‘West Caast. ‘ ~ 


Electric Lighting as well as Power will no doubt be largely adopted at the Mines, also by Nationat 
and Municipal Governments, as well as individuals. ie 


The rivers.on the West Coast furnish ample motive power to generate Electricity, especially in the 
large cities of Santiago and Lima and would enable the Company to carry on its operations with great 


economy. 


The system of Telephonic communication has been most.favourably received by hoth foreigners and 
natives living on the West Coast, and it is proposed by this Company to open at ‘once between: thirty and. 
forty Telephone Exchanges in the principal towns, also to establish and construct private lines throughout 
the mining districts ; large orders for these have already been received. The low price of labour, the unob- 
structed permission to conduct the business and the inexpensive construction required promise most 
favourable returns. as 


“La Compania Chilena de Telefonos de Edison” (The Edison Telephone Company of Chili) is 
a legally organised company with its capital ($200,000%) fully paid and now quoted at a large premium ; 
the head office being in the City of Valparaiso, 8.A., with more than 300 paying subscribers. The Company 
has especial rights and properties not owned by any other foreign company and is in successful operation in 
all respects with a day and night exchange and message service throughout the year—the daily average use of the 
Telephone by each subscriber being 22 calls and the average time employed to” place-one*subseriber in speaking 
communication with the other being 8 seconds. The Company operates under a special exciusive concession 
from the Chilian Government to do a Telephone business for an unexpired term of nearly eight years, and. 
owns for Chili all the Telephone inventions made or to be made, owned, or controlled by Prof. Thomas Alva 
“Bison. It has also exclusive arrangements with the Continental Telephone Company of America in relation 
to patents owned by it, and the American Bell Telephone Company, including among others,-the Patents 
éf Professor Alex. Graham Bell and for the Blake Transmitter. : 


The xevenue at present derived from the telephone business in Valparaiso is about £5,000 per annum. 
The exchanges and lines already constructed and erected are first-class in every respect, and will not suffer by 
comparison with any in Europe or America. . 


The relations existing between the cities ot Valparaiso and Santiago, Callao and Lima and other cities, 


are ‘such :that telephonic communication between them is urgently called for and with the -Dolbear system,

PROSPECTUS. 


1, Tho Austrian Government, unlike that of “the neighbouring German Empire, bas 
resolved to leave the development of the Telephone in the Austrian Dominions to‘ ordinary enterprise * 


and has granted Concessions for this’ purpose, 








2. The Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring and further developing the Telephone 
business already established under five special Concessions of the Imperial Austrian Government for 
’ the five important Cities of Prague (the Capital of Bohemia), Trieste (the oly Austrian seaport), 
DLeuniherg (Capital.of ‘Galicia), .G@ratz (the Capital of Styria, and centre of the Austrian Tron Trade), 
‘Cracowi(the.ancient-Capital of Poland) ; “and also for the purpose of acquiring ‘further concessions in’ 
such other places in the Austrian poavieg as experience may show are dikely to be profitable. 


eG 


8. The vast and increasing development of the Telephone business in countries in Which it 


- has been judiciously introduced, ‘justifies the Directors in anticipating for the Company a aM very 


successful future. -- 


4. The Gceunaniy will have the’ great ndvantage of a 4 prnotionl monopoly - of both the: 
‘Telephone Exchange” and “ Private Wite **bilsiness ‘in tho five Cities, for which they have secured -. 


the Concessions, thereby: avoiding all possibility of competition, with all its damaging COMMEAEN EES: 


5. Telephonic-Exchanges were established in Prague, ‘Trieste and Gratz, in August last only, : 
_ and already 220 Subscribers have heen obtained, resulting in,a.revenuc of about £2, 000 pér annum’ 


to begin with, and the business is daily i increasing. In Lemberg and Cracow the necessary preliminary 


works have been commenced, the routes selected, and numerous Subscribers have volunteered to- 


join, thus indicating the favour with which the enterprise: has heen received. Henee it will be 
observed that the Vendors have obtained the Concessions and developed the business up toa point 
-at. which further Capital is required to meet’ existing and increasing demand for construction, 
* and which enables them to offer the business to the public as a dividend:sumnliie concern. 


6. As-is usual. in the case of Concesioned in Austria; those now referred to dated J une 27th. 


1882, aud October 14th 1881, respectively, have been made absolute only for, the. term of 10: years, at 
the expiration of which time they will be renewed by the Government, or at tliat time, or during the 


currency of the above period the property will be purchased by them, ‘in which case the: exceptional . 


provision.is made, to the advantage. of the Company, that should the Government and the Company 
fail to agree upon the price to be paid to the Company, it shall be settled by arbitration, but the 
arbitrators shall take into‘account both the effective value of the business as poet as sete pr Rencotice 
Revenue. 


“4 7, The following is a neta: estimate. of the ‘profits to be derived from working the business 


‘in the above Cities only. Taking the lowest calculation of the number. of . Subséribers likely ‘to 


‘be obtained within the ‘first -year,-in each-of .the: Gities,. the cestimated revenue-nt the average rates 
fixed ‘hy-the. Concessions, ‘after: deducting “all Royalties and ‘the cost of working and maintenance, 
wouldthe about:£12 ,000 sper ‘annum.-or : equal - ‘t0"20 -per-cerit..on the total Capital of the Company. 
These Cities are peculiarly well adapted for telephonic enterprise, as there are no local telegraph 
offices for sending messages within municipal limits. To meet this: want. the Directors propose 
to establish Public Telephone Offices, where messages may be sent. by the public on payment 
of an authorized charge for. each message, and towards this end irrangements are now in progress 


_with the Government. It is believed that this will be be die ane and consider ably i increase — 


the revenue of the Company. 


8: The Secretary of the Company has visited ‘Austria with a view to investigate the position 

‘of the business and the views of the Government with reference thereto, and has reported very 
favourably to the Board. He also states that 438 kilometres (or miles) of wire have been run, and that 

the present staff is maintained at a cost of about £1,800 per annum, and i is sufficient to conduct the 


‘business of the Company, even if the number of Subscribers is increased to 10v0, and. after that the - 
increase in cost will only be small, These charges are already covered by the. receipts from the 


contracts signed. | 


9. The Diréctors have obtained the services, as Manager in Austria, of Mr. JoserH WesseLy, - 


a Gentleman of position and influence, as well as of considerable local experience. 


; 10... The price to be paid is £20, 000 in-shares and £20,000 in cash, for. which the Ganipady 
receive the existing business as a going concern on November Ist, including .the Government 
deposit, all lines completed and in course of construction; all materials on hand, and also. all 
rentals from the commencement of .the business; the five exclusive Concessions, the Edison and 
Gower-Bell: Patents for Austria Proper and the Gower-Bell Patent for Hungary. The Edison Patent 
‘for Hungary has been sold, subject to-a royalty of 5 fr. per annum for every Telephone in use in that 
country. and to a right to 25 per cent. of the amount received from any company which may hereafter 
be formed to take over the Patent. These royalties and bénetits will belong tothe Company. Having 

regard to the expenditure already made, and the mater ial on hand, which has been paid for, £20, 000 
is considered pemple to complete, these systems. 






























-at about £1l,.equal to-2 premium of 120 sper -cent., representing..a premium of - £480;000 on the 
paid-up capital of £400,000,.and the -shares.of the Lancashire and Cheshire Telephone Company. at 

,,equal to a premium of .per cent.,and the £1 Shares, 10s. paid, of the Oriental 
Telephone Company at lés., equal to. a. premium of 50 per cent. This will convey an idea of the 
extremely valuable results which may be obtained by this Company, working as they do under pai 
Concessions of the Austrian Government. 


12., ‘The Daiinseaiiep has been fixed by the ‘Consolidated Telephone Construction and 


. pay. all the expenses Up. to allotment, not including. -Brokers’ commission. 


: “18. Briefly recapitulated, the following are some, of the grounds upon “which the Directors 
consider they are ieatody in anticipating a successful caréer for the Company :—. 


(1) The popular character of the business, telephonic communication’ being now 
universally recognised as,indispensable in all mercantile.communities. 


.». (2) The exceptionally small Capital on which dividends will have to be paid. 


(3) The practical impossibility of Conipetition, the ‘Concessions. ensuring a monopoly. 


of the effective value of the business, but fiture profits shall be taken into account. 
(5) The favour with which the inauguration of the business has been ‘received in the 


exist within municipal limits. 


_ (8) The approbation of the Imperial Government, .as shown -by the Sealant —— 
of ‘thre | Concession. . 


The only Agreements that have been entered into on behalf of the Company are 


; All of the said Agreements, together with the original Goacedtions and translations of the 
same, can be epee at the Offices of the Solicitors to the Comipany: 





li. As indicating the high position attained by Telephone Companies working the Exchange __ 
. business, it may be.mentioned that the £5-Shares.of -the Unitetl Telephone Company are now quoted . 


Maintenance Company, Limited, who are the Vendors and: Promoters of the Company, and who will ' 


(4) The exceptional provision in, casé ofthe Government exercising its right of ~ 
pre-emption, by which the terms of purchase shall not only include the repayment - 


places in question, together with the fact that no local telegraph ereecrents

the correspondence is by Edison's associate, George E. Gouraud. 


All the documents have been filmed except for duplicate copies of selected 
documents and copies of cable messages filmed in Letterbook, LM-001 (Letterbook

THE 


“ORIENTAL ‘TELEPHONE COMPANY (LIMITED). 


ee B 


The ordinary annual general meeting of the shareholders of this Com- 
pany was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, on Wednesday,: 
the 30th of April, 1884, under the presidency of Mr. John Pender, BLP. 
_.The SEoneTary (Mr. W. G. Hall) read the notice calling the meetin, 
and also the minutes of the previous meeting, which were duly. confirm 
and signed by the chairman. : 

The Directors’ report and balance-sheet were taken as read. 


The CHAIRMAN, in moving their adoption, said that although he could - 


not pnt before the shareholders a very brilliant state of affairs, still he 
could say with some confidence that the Company’s position was by no 
means an unsatisfactory one. The Company had been not much longer 


than two years in existence, and those who attended its first meetings, at 


‘which he presided, would remember that he drew attention tothe fact that 
he believed the telephone was to some extent an- assistance to tele- 
fepy, and it was for that reason, as he’ stated, that he 

gone ont’ of his usual way to take an interest in this 
telephone: system. So far as he could see now, the telephone in such 


countries as Egypt, India, and China, and wherever they had established . 


it, was used toe ter or less extent for mercantile purposes, and was 
therefore a great aid to telegraphy, and as it was developed it would 
become increasingly so. He found in India with respect to the use 
of the telephone pretty much the same prejudice as he found with respect 
to tho use of the telegraph in its.carlier days. The people of the east 
did not move so quickly as those in tha western world, and conse- 
quently the development of the Company's business had been slower 
an that- of. simi companies in Europe and America; but the 
growth ‘of telephony even in England, where it might be” supposed 
(a ddvantanges would be very much appreciated had ‘not been ag 
vapid as some believers in it imagined it would be. Tho Company 
had got systoms established in Alexandria, Cairo, Suez, Calcutta, . 
Bombay, Kurrachee, Rangoon, Colombo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, 
and Port Louis, Mauritius. As to Alexandria he believed tha’ 
had it not been for’ the unfavourable state of affairs that oxis' 
there since the Company was organised, that town would have-been of it- 
self able to return sutlicient to pay interest upon the capital they had in- 
vested. Even in the present state of things it was remarkable how much 
the telephone was both at Alexandria and Cairo, and he had no doubt 
that as trade returned its development would rapidly advancé, and that 
the returns would be correspondingly satisfactory. In respect to Calcutta 
and Bombay, there could be no question that those towns would before 
‘long come under what ho would call the influence of the telephone, Its 
advan! ere so great that it was next to impossible that it should not 
be largely adopted by the mercantile Euro element of the population. 
Thoy were beginning to get a footing in China, too, where, tho moment 
tho natives realised the cdvantages of the telephone, he looked for & vei 
rapid extension of the Company's business, The same might be sai 
with respect to Bombay. ras had always been a slow place, 
bat even there there was some evidence of life in the same direc- 
tion.. And he might say gonerally that, with the sxeeption of 
China, there was no place where the Company's system had been 
established which did not showsome progress, though it was slow. The 
Company had a good property, and all that it wanted was careful watch- 
ing and economical seen, to make it -a profitable source of 
investment to the sharehol 
the directors had found it expedient to dispose of, inasmuch as they could 
not exercise that control over it which it was desirable in the interests of 
the Company they should do. He might mention that Mr. Carnegy, one 
of their directora, had recently returned from India, where he saw the Com- 
pany's system at work, and that gentleman entirely confirmed the opinion 
which he had ventured to give in respect to Bombay and Calcutta. What 
he particularly desired to impress upon the shareholders was that this 
being a new business they ought not to be in too great a hurry to receive 
large dividends) The shareholders would see that their accounts, by the 
advice of their accountants, had been dealt with’ pretty much in the same 
way which other telephone companies dealt with theirs, They were 
aware that large sums had been paid for patent rights, and when 
those patent rights were sold to different sections, a part of the money 





~ sequired-by the sale was psid-in.dividonds, a course adopted under the 


advice of the auditors. It wasa matter for the shareholders to decide, 
whether they would prefer to leave the monoy in the coffers of the Com- 
pany or to use it in that method. His own opinion was that the ac- 
countants’ advice was sound, and believing that this was probably 
the most critical year that the Company would have to pass-through in 
regard to returns, it.would have been a most unwise thing not to avail to 
a small extent of the profit which accrued from the sale of their patent 
rights, as the directors proposed, in the form of dividend. The meeting 
would observe by the report that he retired from the Board. The circum- 
stance arose in this way. When he joined this Company ho stated that 
for a couple of years (believing that he could be of some assistance in es- 
tablishing the Company in India, Singapore, and other places with which 
he was more or/less connected) he would be most happy to serve 
the Company. Now that had been accomplished, and, as he had 


+ stated, the Company required a great deal of personal attention. 


It was tore the details of the business than a broad policy that had 


_ to ba attended to at the present time. He was happy to say there were 


ntlemen on the Board thoroughly conversant with telephonic matters. 

e referred more particularly to Eolonel Gourand, who had been connected 
with the telephone from the first, and there was probably no man in this or- 
any other country who knew more about it than that gentleman. He 
might also say that. the Company had a secretary who had devoted his 
time and thought to it in a degree which the directors fully appreciated, 
and no one more than he did. Hoe would be perfectly contented to leave 
the management of the concern in the hands of these two gentlemen. At 
the same time, let them not imagine that he wanted to leave the Company 
without still giving it what assistance lay in his Bower He desired to 
reduce as far as possible the amount paid to the Board, and in the ordi- 
nary course of events tho ballot had to be taken as to who should retire 
therefrom. Itso happened that he himself, his son, and Sir Alexander 
Armstrong were balloted out, and therefore, believing in practising what 
he preached, he declined to be re-elected. At the same time, he would be 
quite willing to act with any prominent shareholders as a sort of consultative 
committee, to give the directors advice and the benefit of any experience 
they possessed without charging the Company a shilling. He suggested 
that a consultative committeo should be formed consisting of Mr. B. St, 
John Ackers (whom he descriled ag tho largest shareholder), himself, and 
some other leading shareholder. This suggestion scemed to meet with a 
very general approval from the shareholders present. He concluded by 
formally moving ‘‘ That the accounts made up to the 31st December, 1883, 
and slowing the transfer of the sum of £10,000 to profit and loss account 
-from suspense profit-account on conversion of the Egyptian Exchanges, 
together with the directors’ report now submitted to the meeting, be 
approved and adopted, and that the dividend recommended. by the di 
tors for the year ending 31st December, 1883, of 6 per cent. per annum, 
free of income-tax,-be and is hereby declared on the ordinary shares 
‘of the Company other than the vendors’ shares.” 

The Derory-CoarrMan (Colonel G. E. Gourand) seconded the motion, 
expressing his belief in the wisddm of the course adopted by the Board as 
to the payment of the dividend, and personal regret at the retirement of 


* Mr. Pender from the directorate. It was in consequence of that regret 


that lie had suggested that there should be a small consultative committee 
to advise with the Board on which Mr. Pender might be pleased to act, 
80 that the Company would not lose the benefit of his experience and 
cow . 

The Coatnuan, in reply to Mr. Wainwright, said that there was a 
marked pro; in Egypt in telephony. In Alexandria and. Cairo tho 
increase in the number of subscribers to the Exchange and private lines 
during the year had been 187, and the, gross income now amounted to 
£6,600, with the prospect of: that amount being doubled so soon as some 
form of government was established there, So long as England was sup- 
posed to but did not rule Egypt they could not expect either commerce or 
agriculture: to. Prosper or pro, _The prospects all round were good. 
He concluded by referring tu the excellent way the books were audited. 

‘The motion was then put and carried unanimously. . 

The CHAIBMAN afterwards read a letter from Mr. Ackers, the substance 
of which was to the effect that he would be willing to act with the chair- 
man as a consultative committee, and Mr. Pender expressed his readiness 
to fall in with the proposal. _ . 

. The re-election of Sir Alexander Armstrong, K.C.B., &c., not being 
proposed -nor seconded, ho retires from the Beart ob pare : 

essra, Deloitte, Dever, Griffiths, and ‘Co: were ‘reappointed ‘ auditors, 
and a vote of thanks having been accorded to Mr. Pender for his 
services to the Company and his conduct in the chair, the proceedings 
terminated. : 3

- You are aware that the. Conn pai ia esa silvised thot Mr: Edison’s patent, of 1877 

covers the various forms of carbon: transmitter which ‘have since ‘been: -paitunted, and. syhich 

have been to some extent used in this country, and thnt Professor Boll’s patent, covers, the 

various forma of mneneto receivers which are Senerally used with the infringing. ‘ramen. 
Procecdlinns were conunbncdd 4 in the autumn, of ‘last year against ites 


rig 


Boga and in Scotlund. The first of. these actions came to trial in nan 


respect of the use of both transmitter and receiver with costs. Against, i ; decision the 
defendant appealed, but he did not prosecute the appeal, which was dismissed on, the 19tl 1 ing. 
with costs. The injunctions will therefore be at once enforced in Scotland, ‘and ail necessary 
_ proceedings taken against ‘other pexjons making; selling, or using the Spe instruments in

Tminediataly after the fuasent: of Loud M‘Laven had een given i in ‘the Se ic 
an action was commenced in this country against Messrs. Theiler & Sons, of ‘London, ‘the

Sof, Mr, Justice Fry delivered his judgment on the 19th instant. He upheld the validity of the 
‘Ball, Patent, and decided that the instruments manufactured and sold by the defendants were 
infringements of that! patent; and-granted.the injunction asked, with costs. He also decided 
that'the fransmittera complained of were within Mr. Edison’s specification and claim, and that 
the objections raised to the validity of that patent, which were based upon various alleged 
prior inventions and publications, were not well founded, but he held that the claim for the 
phonograph (which is included in the same patent) was not a good claim, on the ground that 
the’ ‘provisional ‘specification did not sufficiently disclose the nature of this invention, and on 


this ground he refused the injunction sought. 


The point thus taken by the learned Judge is a highly technical one, which is not very 
easy of explanation to those who are not well versed in the English Patent Law. The point 
was: tiken and strongly pressed. before the Scotch Courts, and was there decided in favour of 
the Company. ‘There is therefore a direct conflict between the Scotch and English Courts on 
this point. The. matter has received careful consideration, not only from the Company’s 
Solicitors, ‘but -from Mr. J. Henry Jonson, the Company’s Patent Agent, and from 
Mr. Aston, Q.C., Mr. Weusrer, Q.C., Mr. Cozens-Harpy, Q.C., and Mr. Movunton, the 
Counsel who have so ably conducted the proceedings on behalf of the Company. They are 
‘unanimously of opinion that the decision of the Scotch Court on this point is right, and, acting 


upon their advice, the Directors have already given notice of appeal ton higher Court. Should 


the decision of this Court be favourable to the Company, the question will be set at rest, and, 
the scientific questions.involved having already been decided in favour of the Company by two 
Courts, the Company’s position upon its patents will be finally established. 


“It should further be mentioned, that the objection taken by Mr. Justice Fry to 
Mr. Edison’s patent is one which, (as already pointed out in the “Times” of the 20th inst.) 
can be cured by an application to the law officer of the Crown, for leave to disclaim the 
phonograph. ‘ 


‘The Directors ure therefore satisfied that they will be able at no distant date to 
‘establish the validity of the patent for the Edison transmitter, in England ag well as in 
Scotland, and under it to restrain the sale of -all existing forms of the carbon transmitter, 
In the ineantime, active mensures are being adopted to stop the further infringement of the 
inagneto receiver. 


Yours faithfully, 
JAMES BRAND, 


Chairman.

JUDGMENT. 





Mr, Justice Fry :—Tho law which ia applicable to this caso I take to be sliortly stited by Lotd Justice 
Lindley, in tho cnso of Halsey v. Brotherhood, We says, Wren v. Weild comes to thia: If I am a patenteo; 
80 long as I act honestly I am entitled to say, without running a risk of having an action for dainagea brought’ 
againat me, that somebody is infringing my patent, o+ that soincbody elgo’s manufacture is an infringement of: 
my patent.” If I say that‘honestly, I am not liable to an action for damages. If I ay it dishonestly,; I am to. 


liable, and if I know that what I say is untrue, it vould ‘not taka mucli to porsuads a jury that I was acting. . 


dishonestly, and thon an action for damages would lic. Tha abschco of reasonable and Probablo cause would 

- bo proved as against anybudy who kept on making such allogations dishoncatly ; but ao long a8 a patented 
makes such allegations honestly, Wren v. Weild shews that no action lies against him, It seems to mo also 
that no injunction will lio against him go long as he acts honestly. : 


The questions which 1 have therefore to determino in the presorit caso: aro two. In tho firat place—Are 
the Defendants acting honestly in insisting upon tlicir right to issue tho riotice complained of ? and, ia thé 
second placc—Havo tho Plaintiffs satisfied mo that they are sustaining ary injury from tho piblication of thik 
-notice:? : ; 


: Thi facts aro thiess. ‘Tho Defendant Company issued a notice in this form—* No.form of Magneto-, 
Telephone, and no form of Transmitter, in which carbon or any otlicr equivalent substanco is employed; 
whether known as Edison's, Mosoloy's, Hunning’s, Orossloy'’s, Gower's, or by any other name, can bo, 
manufactured, sold, supplicd, or used in this country, oxcept under licenco from tho United Telephone 
Oompany, Limited. Proceedings will be taken against pordons infringing tho Company's patent and other 
rights as abovo set forth." : ¥ 


; I determinod in tho action which was beforo ino,’ that Hunning's Patent could bo manufactured, sold, 
aupplicd, and used in this country, without a licence from tho United Tolephons Company. I therofore, 


. rightly or wrongly, determined tlio very opposito of the proposition which tlio Dofeiidarit put forward. I ant. 


perfectly ulive to ihe vory great probability that my decision may bo wrong. I know it is at variance with tho. 
decision of an eminent juidgo in Scotland ; but, however Stent my sonko of doubé may bo a’ to tho ultimate 

decision of the case, I must Weae ii mind that I ain a competent judge to decido & ise, and ds long as iny: 
decision stands, I am bound to act tipon it, juat in the same way ad I should feel mydolf bound to act or the 
decision of any judge sitting in any of the other courts of this country, I cunnot, on any grounds of modesty, 

rofuse to act upon my own decision. That being so, I take it, tho Defendants aro’ nuw alleging tho vory oppusite 

of that whicli a competent court hoa decided to bo the caso, 


It is suggested that thoy aro doing this bona fide. Now, how stunds the matter as to bona files ? 


In May, ithe present Plaintiffs complained of tho circular, and the Solicitors of tho Dofendants, Measrs, 
Waterhonse and Winterbotham, informed the Plaintiffs’ Solicitor— Immediately after the decision of Mr. 
Justiéé Fry, wo informed the Secretary that it would be necessary to make alterations in the notico reapecting 
inf.ingements in accordance with the present position of matters, and these amended statements will appear in, 
the nextissuo, In tho meantims any copies of the existing list which remain in the Company's hands will not 
bo sent out." Nothing could be more straightforward or proper on their part. They gave tho very best advice 
to the Company. ‘They advised the Company not merely that it was expedient, but that it waa necessary that 
the notice should be altered, and they gave what was equivalent to an undertaking that no furthor lists should 
be sent out, Unfortunately, the Company have not only not kept that undertaking, but they have issued, 
subsequent to the letter, a circular containing the obnoxious paragraph, and, tho Company have also thought fit 
to assert their right to do so. ‘hoy issue that, after the advice of their solicitor, that an 
alterntion was necessary,- and after the fact that that advice which lad been, tendered to the 
Company had been made knowe to the persons whose interests were affected by 74 To have issued 
that, with knowledge of the necessity of an alteration, was not in my opinion right, and I do not believe 
that the Company ever intended to do it, If it had not been for the justification that there may have been a 
slip, there would linve been really no cago, However, they choose to assert their right, notwithstanding tho 
advice of their solicitors that an alteration was uccesgary. I am bound to say that I do not think the statement 
is one which an hongst man would ever make. I do not think that an honest man would desire, without 
speaking subject to a condition, or referring to the devigion of the Court, to say in an unqualified 
manner that that: which a competent Court has decided to be false, ig true. If, notwithstanding my 


decisiou, they had stated their opiniun-as to the superiority of the decision of Lord McLaren to that of 
mine, or if they had in any way indicated that a Court of competent jurisdiction had decided contrary to what: 
Tihad decided, no objection could be taken. I ropent the unqualified setting forth of a proposition which a‘ 


competent Court has determined. to be falie, and which affects the interest of a third person is not, in my 


judgment, astatemont which an honest man would mako, still less could it he made honestly: after they had? 
Geen advised by compotent solicitors that the statement must be altered. ° T conic, therefore, - to tho: con-- 


clusion that the Company | are not honestly asserting their right when they assert a right to retain this 
paragraph, . et 4 


The next question is this, have tho Plaintiifs shewn that their pecuniary interest and their rights are 
likely in all probability to be affected by the statement so set out by the Defendants ? It appears that the 
PlnintifE Company are tho assigns of tho othor Plaintiffs, Messrs. Ormes & Eldred. It appenrs that 
Messrs, Orines & Eldred have ever sinco Juno, 1881 been tho assigns of Mr. Hunning's patent.’ It appoare 
that in consequence of similar statements, their royallics have been Lrought down to zero, and I cannot 
for o moment doubt that what has jad an effect in tho timo past will have the sane effect in the time to 
como, and that if thoso statemente are allowed to go forth, the interest of the Plaintiffs in the patent will be 
injuriously affected, Jt appears that whereas before the statements wero made, a large trade was dono by 
the licensees: of Messrs. Ormes & Eldred, that business has greatly dwindled away, 


I.think, therefore, tho Plaintiffs have shewn that thoy have a pecuniary intorcat which i is liable to bo 


affected and injured hy the statements made in tho notice, 


The result will be, that I must grant an injunction, the terms of which will require a little consideration, 
It appeara to mo that I must restrain the Defendants from setting ont the -paragraph which I have read, and 


from making any other statement that Hunning’s Transmitter can not be inanufactured, sold, supplied or used’ 
in this country except under the licence of the Defendant Company without reference to my decision ; that is to” 
say, .I do not restrain them from saying that, provided they inform tho public at tho same time, that I have: 


decided the contrary. Thoy are not to make tho statement unless thoy qualify it by a reference to my decision, 
80. ii as that decision remains unroversed. Thero will be an ‘Injunction until the trial or further order.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS,: 
FOR THE VEAR ENDING 30th APRIL, 1882, 


Presented to the Shareholders, at the SECOND ANNUAL ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING of the. Company, 
to be held at the CITY TERMINUS HOTEL, CANNON STREET, LONDON, 
on Tuesday,; the Ist August, 1882, at Half-past 12 o’clock p.m. 








' 


1. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. —A reference to the Capital Account will show that up to goth April, 1882, the sum of 
455,966. 13s. 8d. has been expended upon the works in connection with the London and Provincial Exchanges and the 
Stock of Instruments ; being 42 1, :739- 98 od. more than the outlay shewn in the last balance-sheet. 


2. REVENUE, —The Revenue Kecount shows ih the receipts of the Company from all sources properly attributable to the year 
have been 442,624. 15s. 3d. as against 420,644. ros. 6d. in the preceding year, or an increase of 421,980. 45. od. 


3 WORKING EXPENSES, _The ‘Working Expenses of the year have been 621,050. 45. 3d., as ran 420,273. 128. rnd. for 
the Persons, year, or an increase of 4776. 115. 4d. 


4. DIVIDEND. —The Balance of Net Revenue is £21,945. 8s. 7d., and the Directors recommend the distribution of a dividend of 
5 per cent, for the year, leaving a Balance of £1,945. 8s. 7d. to be carried forward. Subject toithe approval of the Proprietors 
it is intended that this dividend shall be payable on ihe 2nd August. 2 


5 PROGRESS OF THE BUSINESS.—the above figures of themselves illustrate the progress of the business. It will be 
observed that whilst the working expenses have but slightly increased, the receipts have more than doubled ; and the Board feel - 
that, considering the short time the Company has been in existence and the many difficulties that have had to be overcome in 
creating and meeting a new public want, the result may be regarded as very satisfactory. » " 

As an evidence of the progress of the business it may be stated that the number of Subscribers to the London 

Exchanges of the Company has increased from 914 on the joth April, 1881, to 1,673 on the zoth April, 1882. Since 
that date a large additional nuntber, (which is growing from day to day,) have been secured.. The Private line business has 
increased from 186 lines to 366 during the year. 
* Considering that the public are only beginning to realize the great convenience, and daing of time and expense conse- 
quent upon the use of the Telephonic Exchange system, and having regard to the practical difficulty attending the erection of 
the necessary machinery for the efficient performance of the Service, the Board hope that these results will be appreciated by 
the Proprietors, - 


6. RELATIONS WITH THE POST OFFICE.—The Board are happy to be able to say that they are working in 
harmony with the Post Ortice, and they feel assured that as every day must manifest, more and more clearly, how admirable and 
indispensable an adjunct to the work of the Post Office the telephone is, the relations with that Department will extend and 
become closer. The recent declaration of the Postmaster General that the Post Office do not favour a monopoly of telephonic 
communication either for themselves or others is so far satisfactory that it will enable the Department to grant the Company 
licenses for many important towns and districts from which they have hitherto been excluded pending that decision. As to 
the policy itself it will no doubt satisfy an abstract principle, but if widely applied it can only lead to embarrassment and serious 
limitation in thé use and value of Telephonic Exchanges, which depend upon the possibility of placing the whole of the 
Subscribers in any town or district in communication with each other. This great object will be seriously impeded by the 
multiplication of competitive Companies, (assuming any of them to possess the means of competition without infringing the 
rights of this Company,) each having a number of Subscribers cut off from the Subscribers of the other. 


7 LITIGATION AS TO PATENTS.—the Board have from time to time during the year notified to the Proprietors the 
result of the several proceedings forced upon them for the protection of their rights. It is, therefore, not necessary to say more 
on the subject than that in the Scotch case the Company’s position as exclusive owners of all the essential patents was explicitly 


Fimited, 











other patents practically so, the judginent; being entirely i in favour of the Company as regards: the transmitters and only’ failing. by... 
reason of 2 purely technical point not affecting the real question. ‘The Board have taken all necessary measures both by appeal 
and disclaimer to remedy the failure, and they are advised that their claim to possess the only possible as well as the best 
telephonic instruments must shortly be finally established. 


$.]‘DISTRICT COMPA NIES,—The Board, following the policy already adopted of making over to persons locally interested 
the management of the ‘Telephone business within the limits of particular Districts, conditionally upon the formation of Dis- 
trict Companies affiliated to the parent Company, have to ask the’ Shareholders to confirm the Agreements in relation to the 
“Telephone Company of Ireland, Limited,” and the “ Western Counties and South Wales Telephone Company, Limited.” 


The general basis of the Agreements under which the ‘business is traisferred is the repayment to the United . 


Company of all sums expended’ by them’ in the Districts: up to the date of the transfer of the: business, one-half of the 
Ordinary Capital of the District Companies, and the further payment of Annual Royalties upon the Telephones used. 


Negotiations are also pending for the creation of other, subsidiary District Companies. 


9 RETIRING DIRECTORS.—In accordance with the Articles of Association, three Members of the Board, 


Messrs. John W. Batten, Joseph B. Morgan and Col. Gouraud, willretire at this meeting. Being eligible, they will offer 
themselves for re- election. 


10. RETIRING AUDITORS. —The Auditors, Messrs, Quilter, Balt and ‘Co, and Messrs! Price, “Waterhouge and Co., also 
retire, and will be eligible for Te- pelection: : ‘

Ponnon, E.c., 18TH NOVEMBER, 1889, 


Dear SIR 





In the final settlement with the vendors, as was explained by the Chairman at the 
Extraordinary General Meeting held on the 13th instant, a reduction was made in the purchase 
money. Under the orginal contracts, and as stated in the prospectus this was fixed at £50,000 in 
cash and £100,000 in shares, but the Vendors have been paid in settlement 440,000 in cash and 
£75,000 in shares, thus leaving 25,000 unissued shares in the hands of the Directors. 


The Chairman further explained that these being original shares of the Company, the Directors 
had power to issue them on such terms as they might, in the interest of the Company, think fit. 


It has been resolved to offer 20,000 of the shares above’ referred to, to the Shareholders 
on the register at this date, in the proportion of one share for every 14 already held. The shares 
are of the nominal value of £1 each, and the price of issue will be 12s. 6d. per Share, representing ros. 
to be called up on the share, and 2s. 6d. premium. ‘The shares will rank for dividend pari passu with 
the other shares of the Company on which ros. has been called and paid. No fractions of a share can 
be allotted. . 





As the registered holder SLOT shares, you are entitled to an allotment of, & SL fAbares, or 
such less number as you may determine. Should you desire to avail yourself of this offer, kindly fill 
up the enclosed Form No. 1 and hand it to the Company's Bankers, Messrs. Smith, Payne & Smiths, 
of 1, Lombard Street, London, E.C., together with your cheque (at the rate of 12s. 6d. per share) 
for such number of shares as you may agree to take up. You may, if you desire, apply for a greater 
number of shares than that to which you are properly entitled, and your application for that additional 
number will then be considered, if all those offered in the first instance be not applied for. 


If you do not desire to take up any of the shares, kindly fill in Form No, 2 and return it to 
me, or should you desire to renounce the shares in favor of anyone else please have Form No. 3. 
filled in, and should I have no reply from you before the 27th instant, I shall assume that you do 
not wish to take up your proportion of shares. . 

Any of these shares which may not be taken up by shareholders will be allotted at the discretion 
of the Directors. 


An application will be made to the Stock Exchange to extend the present quotation in the 
Official List so as to include these shares. 


I am, Dear Sir, 
Your obedient Servant,
